About

If your family is doubling up, staying in a motel, in a shelter, or in a car, your kids still have real legal rights at school. Learn what "homeless" means under federal and Washington law, how your child can enroll right away without paperwork, keep their same school and bus ride, and what to do if a school says no. Built for parents, caregivers, and older teens in Washington State. Built around the Coalition on Homelessness training "Helping Homeless Students: McKinney-Vento 101" (recorded August 19, 2026). Free — you only need a free Mysti's account.
