Webpage focuses on enrolling and supporting displaced and newcomer students

10/17/2022

Ohio welcomes newcomer students and families displaced by conflict, environmental disasters and other extraordinary circumstances. The Enrolling and Supporting Displaced and Newcomer Students webpage contains requirements and considerations to best support displaced newcomer students with immediate enrollment and more.

The needs of a displaced, newcomer student may include other support services available at school. Supporting and encouraging the student, academically and nonacademically, can bolster a displaced and newcomer student’s acclimation to high-quality education.

The Department is committed to providing educational access and supports for all of Ohio’s students. For more information, contact the Office of Whole Child Supports at wholechild@education.ohio.gov.
