Do you have a kid who is ready to start school from September 2013? Is your kid going to be 5 years old before September 2013? If your answer to these questions is yes, you need to start the school enrollment process for your child for next year.

As a first step, you need to find out your assigned neighborhood school. To locate your assigned school(s), use our Neighborhood School Finder or School Boundary Maps.

Here is a list of the documents that you will require for the registration:

  • Birth certificate or passport for students entering kindergarten, first grade or coming from outside the USA.
  • IEP and current evaluation (if your child is in special education) OR a 504 plan (if your child has one).
  • For grades 1-8: the most recent report card
  • For grades 9-12: the most recent report card and/or transcripts of classes completed

To establish a student's residence, the parent or legal guardian must supply documentation listed in one of the options listed below.

Option 1

  • Current payroll check stub with name & address (not a personal check)
    or
  • Government check
    or
  • Address Confidentiality Program Letter stating attendance area school

If option 1 documentation is not available then two of the following must be supplied.

Option 2

  • Property tax bill
  • Redacted 1099 or W-2 (amounts & Social Security number do not matter)
  • Government correspondence
  • Renter or Homeowners Policy Declaration
  • Two consecutive months of a utility bill (water, sewer, gas or electric)
  • Unexpired lease agreement with 2 months receipts or cancelled checks

NOTE: If you cannot supply the documentation listed in either option, you must contact the District Student Placement Office at 425-456-4200

Please present the original, requested document(s) at the time of registration. Copies will be made and the original documents handed back to you.
