Registration for the first civic-military school managed by the City of São José do Rio Preto (SP) will open from this Monday (9).
According to the Municipal Department of Education, activities are expected to begin on site at the beginning of 2027. In this first stage, registration is aimed exclusively at students already enrolled in the municipal public network.
The new unit of the Professora Doutora Maria Dalva Silva Pagotto Municipal School was built in the Redentora neighborhood. The registration period will be valid until November 27th.
In total, the educational institution will offer 490 places, divided between:
Elementary Education (1st to 5th year): 250 places distributed in 10 classes (50 for each school year), on an extended day from 7am to 4pm;
Early Childhood Education: 240 full-time places (from 7am to 5pm), including nursery/daycare classes (around 40 places for babies).
Registration
The registration calendar and locations vary according to the student's education level and registration status:
Elementary Education: from November 9th to 27th, directly at the municipal school office where the child currently studies (for students already enrolled in the municipal network);
Elementary Education (students from outside the municipal network): from January 4, 2027, at any school in the municipal public network (the residential address will serve as a reference for the allocation of the place);
Early Childhood Education – Daycare (4 months to 3 years): registrations have been open since November 3rd at Poupatempo stations (Centro, Ganhatempo and Schmitt Engineer Service Station);
Early Childhood Education – Stage (4 and 5 years old): from December 7th, directly at the Maria Dalva Silva Pagotto School secretariat.
Rules for selection
The distribution of vacancies will not include a selection process, test or assessment of academic performance and behavior.
If the number of applicants exceeds 250 Elementary School places, preference will be in the following order:
Students from the network who live up to two kilometers away on foot from the school;
Legal priorities: children with disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), high abilities or giftedness; dependents of mothers who are victims of domestic violence; socially vulnerable children who are cared for by their grandparents or adopted;
Other students from the municipal network.
Within each priority group, the tiebreaker criteria will be: joint registration of siblings/twins, proof of professional activity of those responsible in the central region and, finally, the chronological order of registration.
Those invited will have seven working days to register, which requires mandatory adherence to full-time schedules. If the student is unable to obtain a place in the unit, regular enrollment in another school in the municipal network remains assured.
Civic-military model
The City Hall emphasizes that the school will remain 100% public and free, with all pedagogical command under the exclusive responsibility of the Municipal Department of Education:
Management and Curriculum: Teachers, curriculum matrix, assessments, teaching materials and pedagogical coordination are under the management of the Department of Education;
Civic-Disciplinary Action: Professionals with complementary experience will work exclusively to support the school routine (organization of entry, exit, breaks, internal travel and civic activities and citizen coexistence);
No police power: The complementary team has no hierarchy over teachers, does not interfere with classroom content and will act in a civil and educational capacity;
Protection and rights: The project prohibits any type of military training, carrying of weapons, physical punishment, punishment or derogatory exposure. All monitors will undergo training on the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA), conflict mediation and combating bullying.
