New student registrations are by appointment. Only a legal parent/guardian may enroll a child, and the following documentation is required at the time of registration:

• Parent/guardian valid driver’s license or other acceptable proof of identification
• Birth certificate (original copy if student is enrolling in a Maryland public school for the first time), Passport or Visa
• Immunization record, which must include the Hepatitis B series, in addition to information relative to Chicken Pox, either the date (month/year) the child had the disease or evidence of the vaccination.

• Proof of residence. Two forms of documentation are required as proof of residency, one of which must be either a lease or deed of property/mortgage statement and a second item such as a utility bill (BGE, water, COMCAST cable), a current pay stub, a W-2 form, social security check, or child support check.  All documentation must be current and depict the property address.
• A transfer packet from the forwarding school, which should include the student’s most recent class schedule and report card, as well as a transcript depicting any high school credits earned.

Registration appointments can be made by calling our Registrar, Phyllis Ashwood, at 410-672-4921.  Parents/guardians should expect to complete a registration packet with Mrs. Ashwood on the day of the appointment after which they will meet with their child(ren)’s guidance counselor (in most instances) to review Arundel High School’s program of studies and academic expectations. Additionally, all new parents/guardians will be introduced to our school nurse who will review immunization records and discuss any health concerns.  The student will begin classes the next school day following the registration appointment.

NOTE:  Enrollment appointments for new students for the 2010-2011 school year will be announced at a later date.  Please watch for updates on our website. Incoming ninth-grade students from our feeder middle schools will automatically “roll” into our student database.  No action is required on the parent/guardian’s part to enroll them.  For more information on Enrollment Requirements, please contact the School Counseling Office or visit our website at:
