Enrollment Guidance for Students Displaced by Wildfires
What should I do if my family has been displaced by wildfires and we are temporarily staying within the district and we wish to enroll in a different school that is not in the attendance area where I live?
If you are the parent of a child displaced by wildfires and temporarily staying within the district but outside your school of residence, you are entitled to enroll your child in a different school. Under the Executive Order, schools are required to enroll your child in the requested school for the 2024-2025 school year, even if your residence is outside the school’s attendance area. This policy is valid until June 30, 2025. Please contact the requested school directly for specific enrollment steps and guidance. If you are missing any of the required documents for enrollment, you may still enroll, please speak to the school about obtaining affidavits for enrollment.
