***THIS MESSAGE IS FOR 8TH GRADE PARENTS ONLY***
Happy Monday, Rising 9th grade Parents:
This is a reminder that it is time to complete the Transitional Residency Application for your child's high school registration. This process will ensure that your child transitions to the correct boundary area school for your address. All parents/guardians will need to complete this process. If you have any questions, please email Dr. Richards (school registrar) at angela.richards@pgcps.org. Please see the instructions below:
Below is the link for the online registration application.
https://pgcpsmdc.scriborder.com/
It will prompt you to create a family dashboard account (if you do not have one already). From there, you will complete a Transitional Residency Application. Could you ensure the application is for SY (school year) 2022-2023 and reflects your current address? You must select Benjamin Stoddert Middle School from the dropdown menu under Boundary Area School.
Once the application is complete, please upload the following documents:
Proof of Residency
Lease/Deed
Current Utility from within the last 30 days
Driver's License/ State Photo ID
The following link can provide you with more detailed examples of valid proof of residency documentation:

I am also including some helpful "how to" links below. These videos can provide you with step-by-step visual support for creating your account, adding your child, submitting the application, and uploading documentation. If you have any questions, please let me know.
