Student Registration

 

The Merrick Union Free School District will provide students with the opportunity to maximize their potential and to become lifelong learners, independent problem solvers, and responsible citizens by working with all members of the Merrick community to create learning environments that support students’ social, emotional, and academic needs.

New Residents who are parents of school-age children should register their children as soon as possible at the appropriate elementary school. If you are unsure of your child’s neighborhood school, please call the Transportation Office at 516-992-7285.
