Enrollment for the 2025-26 School year
We are still enrolling for the 2025-26 school year. Our Early Childhood Programs office begins open enrollment for our tuition-based preschool program in January of the prior school year. However, we enroll students throughout the school year until spring, as space allows! We close enrollment for the school year on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
Registration and Enrollment Process:
The following steps outline the registration process:
Step 1: Enroll your child in AIR by completing an Online New Student Enrollment
Be sure to select Preschool Program (Registration) as the grade level or program for your child. If the incorrect option is selected, our office will not be able to assign a 7-digit Student ID for your child.
Once you enroll your child in AIR, you will receive an email within 24 hours with your child’s new Student ID Number.
Step 2: Using your child’s Student ID Number, submit an Online Preschool Application at: https://webapps.capousd.org/preschoolapplication/
Step 3: Once your application is received, you will receive an email confirming that we received your application. Our Early Childhood Programs (ECP) office team will review applications.
-
- If the requested preschool program is available, your child will be tentatively placed into the class, and you will be notified by email. This email will include an acceptance letter with additional directions to finalize the enrollment process.
- If your first-choice requested preschool program is not available, but your second-choice is, your child will be tentatively placed into the class and you will be notified by email. This email will include an acceptance letter with additional directions to finalize the enrollment process.
- If neither of the requested programs are available, you will receive an email letting you know that your requested programming is unavailable. This email will contain information for the next steps.
Step 4: Families will finalize preschool enrollment and registration by submitting all of the required documents and payment within 30 days of receiving the acceptance letter.
