Enrollment in Your Neighborhood School
Enrollment in your neighborhood school begins March 1, 2024. Just go to your school and get the needed forms and information. They will be happy to help you. We do ask that you enroll them as soon as possible because it helps us in planning for staffing needs for the upcoming year. If you need to see which school is your neighborhood school, HERE for the Boundary Maps. Thank you and we can't wait to meet you!
Enrollment in School of Choice / Application
Almost all of our Simi Valley Schools are considered School of Choice (SOC). (The standing exceptions to SOC are Hollow Hills Elementary School and Vista Elementary School, which are Fundamental schools; Arroyo Elementary School's Dual Language Academy; and Santa Susana High School, which is a magnet school.) As long as the school is not filled to its capacity with existing students and incoming neighborhood students, students living outside the neighborhood boundaries of a school may apply to enroll in that school, and the school may accept these students until the school is filled to capacity. If there are more applications than there are available spots for interested students, the school will conduct a random lottery to select the number of students they are able to accept.
SOC applications must be submitted online. Students living in a school's boundary area have first priority and do not need to complete a SOC application. (Please click HERE for a Boundary Area Map.)
Enrollment in a Specialized Program/School
Required Documentation for Entering School
- Original Birth Certificate: Please note that hospital certificates are not acceptable.
- Proof of Residency: A current utility bill (electric, gas or water) or a lease or rental agreement.
- Immunizations: Up-to-date for ALL students, including Transitional and Kindergarten programs. (Please see the Parent's Guide to Immunizations for Entering Schools link here for detailed information on what immunizations are required and when.)
- Oral Health Assessment Form: Completed by your dentist, this form is required for all Kindergarten students. An oral health assessment conducted up to a year before that start of kindergarten, or by May 31 of your child’s Kindergarten year, satisfies this requirement.
- Report of Health Examination Form: Required for enrollment into Kindergarten. This physical examination must be completed and dated by your child's doctor no earlier than 6 months before the start of school.
** A Health Examination is NOT required for enrollment into Transitional Kindergarten (TK)**
