Register Your Child for School | WSD

Steps to register new students, including kindergarten, plus other registration options

Students must register at their "home" or neighborhood school, according to the attendance boundaries. Go to any school or WSD boundary maps for information on what your ?home? schools are, including elementary,?middle school?and high school, based on your address.

Wenatchee School District Boundaries:

If you need assistance determining which school your student will attend, please contact the Wenatchee School District transportation department at (509) 662-6168.

Most schools require the following to register:

• Records of Immunizations ? students must meet state Immunization requirements. Bring proof of immunization from your family physician or a local health department. The parent or guardian then transfers this information to a certificate of immunization and signs the certificate to verify its accuracy.

• Proof of Residency ? We need verification that you are a resident of the Wenatchee school District. Typically, a copy of a recent phone bill, PUD bill or lease agreement will suffice.
  • Homeless qualified students according to McKinney-Vento regulations - The school will not require proof of residency or any other information regarding an address for any student who is eligible by reason of age for the services of the district if the student does not have a legal residence.
• Proof of ?Date of Birth? and ?Legal name? ? WSD Acceptable Documentation for Proof:
  • Birth Certificate
  • Current Drivers License
  • Certificate of Live Birth ? usually provided by a hospital
  • Proof from DSHS
  • Out of country Birth Certificates
  • A DMV Washington State Identification Card
  • A current Passport
• Emergency card ? the parent or guardian fills out this form during registration. Bring information such as the student's birth date, address and home phone, mother and father's employer and work phone numbers, name and phone number of emergency contacts other than parent/guardian (ideally this person or people will live near the student), student's doctor's name and phone number, names of any medications student takes and any medical condition student may have.
• Consent for Exchange of Information (if applicable) ? if a student is transferring from another school, the parent or guardian must give their consent to transfer records from the student's previous school. It is helpful if the parent brings the name, address and phone number of the previous school.
• Transcript or Academic History (if applicable) ? Students transferring from another school should bring academic records. The school may also ask if the student has been in any special programs in their previous school such as English Language Learner, special reading program, etc.

?

Some schools may have additional registration requirements. When enrolling a student who has attended school in another district, the parent and student will be required to briefly indicate in writing whether the student has:

• Any history of placement in a special education program
• Any past, current, or pending disciplinary actions,
• Any history of violent behavior or convictions,
• Adjudications or diversion agreements related to a violent offense, a sex offense, inhaling toxic fumes, a drug offense, a liquor violation, assault, kidnapping, harassment, stalking or arson,
• Any unpaid fines or fess from other schools,
• Any health conditions affecting the student?s educational needs.

?

For further information, call the school directly. Some schools, particularly high schools, require that parents or students phone ahead for an appointment to register.

Variance & Transfer Information ? ?Choice?

Students who live in the district?Students who live within the district can apply for a choice to another school, if there is space available at that other school. Students from all areas of the district can apply to attend a ?Choice? school.

Students who live outside the district?If a student lives outside the district, they may attend Wenatchee School District schools, however, an inter-district transfer application (also known as between district) is required and, again, space must be available. A student living in Wenatchee School District may also attend a different public school district if space is available there. Both types of transfer require transfer forms. For more information on transfers between districts, contact the Wenatchee School District at (509) 663-8161.

Children younger than five may qualify to enter kindergarten early?Some students do not meet the state age guidelines for kindergarten but they may still be highly capable and ready for school. The Kindergarten Early Entrance process uses a formal and informal assessment to determine if your child meets or exceeds specific criteria in the areas of mental ability, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, auditory discrimination, visual discrimination, and emotional/social development. Parents who are interested in this option for their child should contact the school district at (509) 663-8161 and speech to our Enrichment coordinator.
