Education Activity Launches Online Preregistration

WASHINGTON, March 23, 2011 – Defense Department officials have launched an online preregistration application
that’s intended to help parents get an early start on enrolling their children in DOD schools.
Through the site, parents can preregister their children in a DOD school from anywhere in the world, and even while on
the move from one installation to another, explained Mike Lynch, chief of policy and legislation for the Department of
Defense Education Activity.
The site, located at https://registration.dodea.edu, is open to parents with students entering pre-kindergarten up to
12th grade.
The site is intended to aid with new enrollments into Defense Department schools, Lynch said, rather than re-
registration requests. “An online re-registration application is something we’re looking at developing for next school
year,” he said.
Lynch said the site can help military parents worldwide, whether they’re moving their children from an off-base school to
one on base or are in the early stages of preparing for a move, either stateside or overseas.
Parents who are readying for a move can preregister children even before they know the exact school their child will
enter, he noted. On the site, parents can choose options ranging from the community they’re moving to down to the
specific Defense Department school their child will attend.
“If you’re going to Europe, for example, you can pick that option, then the country, community and school,” he said.
However, “You can stop at any point along the way.”
Registrars will be on the lookout for new registration paperwork, he said. And, for those who didn’t designate a specific
school, the registrar can quickly pull the paperwork from a queue upon the family’s arrival. “It takes only a few minutes
to print and have it ready,” he said.
The site is simple and easy to navigate, Lynch said. Parents answer questions ranging from student’s birth date to
citizenship. They also can attach documents, such as military orders and birth certificates, to their online preregistration
paperwork.
While the site is designed to streamline the registration process, he said, it doesn’t replace the need for an in-person
school visit. Parents still will need to stop by the school to update documents, complete other forms, such as bus
routes, and sign an official registration request.
Along with parents, the site also offers benefits for school officials, Lynch noted. Since the system generates pre-filled
forms, it eliminates the need to have registrars transfer data from sometimes hard-to-decipher handwritten registration
forms. Additionally, the schools can better track the number of incoming students.
