STUDENT ENROLLMENT:

STUDENT ENROLLMENT:

Parents who are new to the area, reside within District attendance boundaries, and are enrolling a student for the first time in Capistrano Unified may enroll their child at the school serving their neighborhood online or in person.
 
  • There is no need to re-enroll students who are currently enrolled at a CUSD school in grades TK-12.
  • Please note that enrollment is not complete until all information has been reviewed by the school, other school forms are completed and residency has been verified.
 
 Parents of District students who would like their child to attend a school other than the school serving their neighborhood should follow the process outlined under the School of Choice Program.  Applications are accepted online during the month of February for the following school year.  Applications for students new to CUSD must be obtained at the time of registration with the home school once a student ID number has been issued.

ATTENTION KINDERGARTEN PARENTS!

ATTENTION KINDERGARTEN PARENTS!

All neighborhood schools accept registration forms for kindergarten students. Changes in the entry date for kindergarten occurred with the implementation of the Kindergarten Readiness Act in 2010. A child must turn 5 by September 1, of the new school year.

Parents are encouraged to attend kindergarten orientation sessions held in the spring prior to the child entering school in the fall. For more information on kindergarten registration and orientation, please contact individual schools or ask for the District publication, “Welcome to Kindergarten.”
