Enrollment and Registration Process
We’re excited to partner with you in your child’s educational journey. Getting started is simple—our enrollment and registration process is organized into clear categories so you can find exactly what you need.
2026-2027 New Student Enrollment (Starting February 2, 2026)
This is for any student that is new to PUSD, including Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten students, even if their siblings are already PUSD students.
New Student Enrollment for the current school year will remain open.
Continuing Student Registration (March 2 - 31, 2026)
This enrollment window is for students currently enrolled in Poway Unified schools in grades TK-11. A digital registration packet must be completed for ALL currently enrolled students, whether your child(ren) are returning or leaving the district next school year.
If your family is not returning to PUSD for the 2026-2027 school year, please complete the online packet for your child(ren) to let us know.
Completing the Continuing Student Registration process will allow for proper placement of your child(ren) for the 2026-2027 school year as well as appropriate release procedures for those who will not be returning. For full instructions on this process, visit the Continuing Registration webpage.
Preschool Enrollment
Registration is open year-round! PUSD Preschool Programs are for families with 3 year olds and offers age-appropriate, dynamic lessons, nurturing environments, and foundational learning.
Transfers
A transfer request is for those who would like their child(ren) to attend a school other than their school of residence. This includes incoming siblings of current students.
