Applications should only be completed by families who meet the requirements to apply for a Special Education Evaluation with the Public Schools of Brookline.

The online application for out-of-district special education evaluation is available all year round. You can access the application at any time to begin reviewing and editing your student’s information. However, please note that the majority of evaluations are conducted within our schools and offices and that requests for evaluations can only be conducted by PSB staff during their working hours. 

You must create an account on the Aspen Family Portal in order to access the online registration application. Aspen is the primary database on which PSB maintains the information of their students and families. Because the account you create for registration will be maintained and kept throughout your student(s) educational tenure at PSB, we highly recommend that you keep a record of your login credentials. 

• New families entering or families re-entering PSB after withdrawing from the district should begin the process by creating a new account on Aspen, even if they have previously registered through the software with another district, school, or institution. You can create an account by clicking the "request an account link" on the main Aspen page.
  
  
  
  
• Current PSB families or families with students enrolled at PSB during 2021-22 School Year do not need to create a new Aspen account. If you have previously used our online registration software to register for BEEP, special education services, or your student’s sibling(s), please use your existing username and password. The PSB Data Team will be happy to assist you in retrieving and resetting your login credentials if necessary. 

Once you have set up your Aspen account, you will receive a confirmation email from a "@myfollet.com" account. Clicking on the link will activate your account and allow you to complete the application form.

You must complete the online enrollment application in order to move forward in the registration process. Please review the application carefully as some of the responses, such as grade level and school, will be automatically generated by Aspen based on your input. Click here for a list of general tips and tricks for completing this application.

The final step of the online application requires you to select an appointment time for your virtual meeting with the Office of Registration & Enrollment. Make sure you complete this step and make a note of the appointment date and time before exiting the application.

One of the final steps of the online application is to electronically submit the required documents needed for Public Schools of Brookline registration. You will be asked to upload a PDF, JPG, or PNG file to our database for each document that is required. You can upload multiple files under the same label and submit pages individually or as a complete document.

At the end of the online application, you will be asked to electronically upload and submit the required documents. Click on the “Browse” button for each appropriate document category and select a file from your device to upload. Please note that our application only supports PDF, JPG, or PNG uploads at this time.

If you have difficulty uploading the files or converting it into a PDF or JPG format, you may also email them directly to our office at enroll@psbma.org with the subject line: “[Student Last Name] - Registration Documents - [Date of Registration Appointment]". You may also mail/drop off a physical copy of these documents at:

Public Schools of Brookline
Office of Registration and Enrollment
Brookline Town Hall, 4th Floor
333 Washington Street, Brookline, MA 02445

Our office dropbox is located at the main entrance of the Brookline Town Hall, in the vestibule. Please note that if you intend to drop off the documents physically, you can only do so during the hours in which Town Hall is open. We will return any original copies you send to us by physical mail upon request.

During the virtual appointment, the Office of Registration and Enrollment staff will verify with you the documents submitted electronically. Your student can not begin school until the PSB staff has validated all of the documents required to complete registration.

Failure to provide these documents - especially a student's birth certificate, immunization records, and proofs of residency - at the registration appointment may delay your student(s) registration. A student cannot be evaluated until all of the required documentation has been received by the Office of Registration and Enrollment.
