2011-2012 Registration Procedures

Students moving into PSD during the school year may enroll at their neighborhood school at any time. Use the Neighborhood School Locator to determine your neighborhood school.

Students need the following for registration:

• Student's birth certificate, original or certified (required for new kindergarten students and students new to PSD only)
• Emergency contact information, including health care provider contact information
• Immunization records or a signed State of Colorado Exemption Certificate is required for personal, religious, or medical exemptions to school immunization requirements. The Larimer County Health Services lists required school immunizations. The recommended and required immunizations letter from Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is available for your review - Spanish version is also available.
• Copy of student's academic history or current report card (bring a non-official copy; PSD school personnel will request your student's school records from the previous school after your student is enrolled)
• Proof of residency (a copy of a lease agreement, mortgage statement, utility bill, etc.. that shows that parent/guardian lives at address within school boundaries)

Once a school year begins, open enrollment (school choice) for that school year is over. An application to a school other than your neighborhood school is considered a transfer and must be approved by either the Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Schools or Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools. You may begin the school transfer process by completing the School Transfer Request (also available in Spanish).  For elementary school transfer questions, please call (970) 490-3302; for secondary school transfer questions, please call (970) 490-3201.
