Centralized Enrollment Center

All families new to the Lawton/Fort Sill area with children to enroll into the Lawton Public Schools (LPS) district should visit the Centralized Enrollment Center (CEC) as soon as arriving into the community. (Please call 580.357.6900 for the new CEC location effective Thursday, February 25, 2010.)

Required documents:

1. Proof of residency (must consist of a mortgage/lease statement or a utility bill showing service established);
2. Certified birth certificate (the hospital souvenir copies are not accepted);
3. Immunization records (all Oklahoma state required immunizations must be complete); and
4. Withdrawal form from the previous school (required during the active school calendar).

Parents who do not have the required documents listed above will first need to go to the Student Services office located in the Shoemaker Education Center, 753 NW Fort Sill Boulevard, to obtain permission to enroll, or parents may request to speak to an Executive Director if needed.

The enrollment center will only process those students that are new to LPS or students that were previously enrolled in LPS and are now returning to the Lawton area. Students moving from one LPS school to another LPS school may simply go to the new school and provide them with a proof of residency within that school area.

Students remaining at the same LPS school from one year to the next (not changing over the summer) or moving up a level (elementary to middle school or middle school to high school) will automatically be pre-enrolled and will not need to enroll through the CEC.

All students (returning and new) will still need to go to their LPS school on the designated enrollment days during the month of August to check in with the school and obtain school specific information.
