Meals and P-EBT Benefits
All students who attend Paterson Public Schools are able to receive breakfast and lunch at no charge throughout the year, as well as qualify for the State’s P-EBT benefit. In order to continue to receive these benefits, Paterson Public Schools must maintain its status as an approved Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) District. We maintain this status by collecting the required number of Household Information Surveys from our families.
Your participation in this process is very important to the children of Paterson. Please complete the Household Information Survey that you received from your child’s school, or click on the link below to get a copy of the survey. If you have any questions or need assistance completing the survey, contact your child’s school. The signed survey must be submitted to your child’s school for processing.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Central Registration Appointments
If you require assistance or have any questions/inquiries regarding your child{ren}s' registration appointment, please contact the Office of Central Registration at 973-321-2501 or at 973-938-4116
Attention Parents/Guardians: If you have a child that will be 5 years old by October 31, 2020 please call 973-321-2501 to make an appointment to register for September. If you already have an appointment there is no need to call.
Please note, due to COVID-19, we have made a few changes regarding the registration process:
The NEW registration entrance has been moved to the back side of 90 Delaware Ave which is located in the parking lot of the Farmboy Super Fresh suparmarket. Student registration is by appointment only.
Children do NOT need to be present for the appointment. Only one parent or legal guardian will be allowed in the building unless you need an interpreter to accompany you and you must wear a mask.
The required documents for the student registration that must be readily available in order to be seen are: child’s birth certificate and immunization record, parent/guardian photo ID, 2 recent proofs of address for the parent/guardian, completed Registration Form and Home Language Survey form. (The Registration Form and Home Language can be found on the Paterson Public Schools website under the Central Registration department at http://www.paterson.k12.nj.us/11_departments/central_registration.php .)
Please bring a pen with you to fill out any additional forms. Be advised, your temperature will be taken before entering the building.
For more information, or if you have additional questions or concerns regarding your child’s registration, please visit the Paterson Public Schools website or call the Office of Central Registration at 973-321-2501.
New Jersey state law requires all public school students to have complete immunization records on file at their school.
A child who has an incomplete record of immunizations may not be permitted to attend public school. Also, all sixth grade students require two additional immunizations.
If you have received notification that your child’s immunization records are incomplete, or if your child will enter the sixth grade in September, please contact your family doctor or clinic so your child may receive the needed immunizations.
If you do not have a family doctor or clinic, please contact the Paterson Board of Health at 973-321-1277 or the Paterson Community Health Center at 973-278-2600. They are ready to assist families needing vaccinations for their children. Flyer with details
Keeping our Children Safe on the Internet and Online

Please review this important presentation from the district's Director of Instructional Technology, Jose Correa, to help you understand what your children are doing online and to learn how to make smart choices to keep them safe when using the internet.
