How to Register for the 2021-2022 (Next) 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. The information on this page explains the process for registering all new incoming Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten students, as well as any student in grades 1-8 that will be new or returning to SCSD for the 2021-2022 school year.

The 2021-2022 new student registration process begins on January 20, 2021. The link to the online pre-registration form will become available at 12:00 pm (noon) on this page on January 20. Priority registration ends on Friday, February 26, 2021.

_______________________________________

• See our Key Dates for Registration page for more information on when to register.

• Transitional Kindergarten (TK) - if they have reached 5 years of age on or between September 2 – December 2, 2021 (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, 2021.
  • Students who do not turn 5 by December 2, 2021 are not eligible to enter Kindergarten or TK for the 2021-2022 school year.
  • 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.
• 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.

• 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 (Out-of-District) Transfer process.
• Employees and siblings of concurrently enrolled students will be given enrollment priority.
• We will begin accepting Interdistrict Transfer Requests in May 2021. 

STEP FOUR - Gather Required Registration Documents
Before starting your online registration, gather all required documents to upload during the registration process. Incomplete student registration packets will not be processed and may delay your enrollment confirmation.

1. Original Birth Certificate, passport, attested baptism certificate, a statement by local registrar or county recorder certifying date of birth, or affidavit of parent, guardian, or custodian of minor certifying date of birth
2. Current Proofs of Residency (current property tax or rental agreement) AND two current utility bills from different sources (for example PG&E, Recology, Comcast, California Water Service)
3. Immunizations (complete list of all current immunizations)
4. Driver License or Picture I.D.

STEP FIVE - Complete PowerSchool Enrollment
We are transitioning away from paper forms and families will be required to create a PowerSchool Enrollment account in order to register students. The link will be available here and open on January 20, 2021 by 12:00 pm noon. Priority registration ends on Friday, February 26, 2021.
