Who needs to enroll?

  • Students who are attending school for the first time*
  • Students new to the district (they have recently moved into the San Diego Unified boundary or they were previously attending a private school, charter school or were home-schooled).
  • Students who were previously attending a district school, but have moved to a different area of the district.

*Students wishing to attend one of our preschools or child development centers must enroll through the district's Early Childhood Education Department. Details about our programs and enrollment materials can be found on the Early Childhood Education Department website.

Who does not need to enroll? 

Students currently attending a school in San Diego Unified School District who will be articulating to the next grade level at another school within their neighborhood cluster (feeder pattern) do not need to re-enroll at the new school. Information will be transferred automatically by the school your student is currently attending.

Parents of continuing students may update demographic information via the Parent Portal in PowerSchool. Contact your child's school to set up a Parent Portal account.
