Enrollment Support & Contact Info

Please Note:

Your student’s enrollment ensures a seat at a school in Poway Unified. We make every effort to enroll your child at your neighborhood school. In some cases, classes at your neighborhood school may reach capacity, in which case we will work with you to place your child at a nearby school.

Transitional Kindergarten and/or Kindergarten Lotteries:

Should a site be determined near capacity in grades TK or K, a lottery process may be necessary to determine student placement.
