St. Paul Public Schools
St. Paul Public Schools are a Safe Haven district. No documentation is needed. They will ask for full name and birth date as well as immunization information. If the child has attended school or schools in other districts or states, they will request a release to obtain those records. They will test the child, if needed, to determine their grasp of English and find the best program and school to enroll them in. The district will provide immunizations if needed. Transportation is provided for any child residing within the district. If a child is enrolled through open enrollment, and lives in a different district, the family must provide transportation.
