    Please note - If your child is a current GUSD student (TK-12) you do not need to enroll them through this process.

     

    If you have already done the Pre-Enrollment AND Enrollment Survey

    do not do them again, move on to STEP 3.  

     

    1. Complete online Pre-enrollment.

    2. Complete the online Enrollment Survey.

    3. Print and complete the Enrollment packet for your student.  Printed copies are available in the front lobby of the District Office.  The security guard will be able to give you one.

    4. You will be contacted by the school site within 5 days.

     

    After you hear from the site you will be asked to drop-off or mail the documents below to the District Office.  Please do not send until you hear from the school site.

     

    To enroll you will need to submit the following documentation: 

    1. Completed enrollment packet.

    3. Proof of Residency:

    4. Immunizations: 

    Please see enrollment packet for required immunizations and other medical documents to attach.  If your child does not have all the required immunizations at the time of enrollment, packets he or she will be ‘conditionally’ enrolled but proof of all missing immunizations will be required before the start of the 20-21 school year. 

     

    5. Picture ID of Parent or Guardian enrolling the student (Driver’s License or passport)

    Office of Student Support Services

    Glendale Unified School District

    223 North Jackson Street 

    Glendale, CA 91206

     

    Please mail via USPS or you may enter the building to drop-off the packet in the marked bin, but please know that no office visits are allowed at this time. The school site will contact you once the enrollment packet and documents are received.

     

    IF YOUR STUDENT IS ALREADY ENROLLED AT A GUSD SCHOOL, YOU DO NOT NEED TO ENROLL AGAIN.  

     

    Per Board Policy 5115, your child may be reassigned at another Glendale school due to class size and space availability.  For “capped” students, Student Support Services shall maintain a waiting list in priority order for students wanting entry into their school of residence and will notify parent or guardian when an opening occurs during the school year. You will be notified of your student’s placement through phone call and/or email. We do everything we can to avoid moving students, but there are times it is necessary due to space limitations. 

     

     

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 

    The registration process will not be completed until all forms are submitted.  A child is to be registered for school only at the school in their area of residence, at the time of registration, unless the child has been accepted into a Magnet School or Dual Immersion Program.  Please check, in advance, to be sure of the school attendance area in which you reside.  Please notify the school if your child will not be in attendance before the first day of school.

     

    Only parents or legal guardians are allowed to register students.  It is not necessary to bring your child(ren) with you for the registration appointment.  Legal guardians must bring valid court documents to prove their relationship to the student(s). 

     

    We encourage parents to complete the registration process as soon as possible.  Space is available on a first come, first served basis.  In cases where classrooms become overcrowded, students will be assigned to other Glendale Unified School District schools to meet the requirements of California law.
