How to Register for the 2020-2021 (Current) School Year

Welcome to the San Carlos School District! We are excited to welcome you to our schools and help guide you through the process of registering your child. Please follow this process if you are registering for the 2020-2021 school year.

STEP ONE - VERIFY GRADE LEVEL ELIGIBILITY

• Transitional Kindergarten (TK) if they have reached 5 years of age on or between September 2 – December 2, 2020 (TK students currently enrolled in SCSD do not need to register for kindergarten as they are already registered. See Current Students section below.)
• Kindergarten if they have reached 5 years of age on or before September 1, 2020
• Students who do not turn 5 by December 2, 2020 are not eligible to enter Kindergarten or TK for the 2020-2021 school year.
• Grades 1-8: Will be placed in the grade following the last one they attended, or according to their age if it is their first time attending public school in the United States.
• Current SCSD Preschool Students Must Still Register for K or TK: If your child is currently enrolled in one of our San Carlos Preschool classes, they are not yet a matriculated student and are required to register for Kindergarten.

STEP TWO - VERIFY RESIDENCY

• Please note, we are no longer accepting registration packets for students who reside outside of the SCSD boundaries. If you are interested in transferring into SCSD from another school district, please see our Transfer Requests page for more information on the Interdistrict Transfer process.
