Department of Defense Education Activity

At JPS, we understand that frequent moves and transitions are a part of military life. Below you will find resources and information that we hope will assist with any future transitions. Reminder that you can only attend a base school if you live on base AND the sponsor is active duty.

  • Birth Certificate - original or certified copy (or non-expired passport)
  • Original Orders for Camp Lejeune

  • Any IEP/504/Confidential medical records that pertain to the child attending school must be brought in to be copied and kept on file

  • If active-duty sponsor is a step-parent to the child, please provide a copy of the marriage certificate and the military ID of the spouse
Outbound Checklist

  • ALL OCONUS PCS should request physical records from the school. If PCS is within the United States, the records request should be made by the next school the child is attending.
