According to the Education Law Center (elc-pa.org), homeless children have special rights guaranteed under a law called the McKinney-Vento act.

The registration office in the school district where the child is living should accept them without paperwork... for the homeless, legally, the paperwork can be provided AFTER the child starts school.

A homeless child has the right to

  • Stay in the same school, with necessary transportation, even if the child has moved to another school district or school attendance area unless it is in the child's best interest to change schools.
  • Get help from a person called a school district "liaison" to enroll in school, get records, and explain the child's special legal rights.

This is a federal law, so it should apply in every state, but you will probably have to do more research in your particular state and your particular school district in order to get the help and the services that a homeless child needs.
