2023-24 School Year Enrollment

To complete your student’s registration, you will need to upload the following: 

• Student’s birth certificate or passport

• Student’s immunization record

• Two different documents for proof of address (e.g. recent utility bills, rental agreements, bank statements, etc. in parent/guardian’s name OR a signed and dated letter from landlord or renter and recent bills in their name)

• Parent or guardian’s photo ID (i.e. driver’s license or passport)

Please note: Your application will be completed once all documents have been uploaded and received by RCSD. Once all documents have been turned in, RCSD will then process registration for placement.

Families who do not have a device at home and need face-to-face support from school staff, can visit their assigned neighborhood school or the District Office. Families can find their assigned neighborhood school using their address on the school locator.

Families who are interested in transferring to another program or school other than their neighborhood school need to complete a School of Choice Application.

New families to the district need to register first before filling out a School of Choice application. School of Choice applications will be processed only after a child has been enrolled and confirmed at their assigned neighborhood school. The School of Choice application will appear as an option at the end of the registration form.

Spring and summer enrollment prior to the new school year is considered late. 

Students who register during the spring and summer are only temporarily enrolled in their neighborhood school for the first 10 days of the school year, and may be moved if the principal and superintendent determine there are not enough seats available at your child’s grade level.

Neighborhood students have priority based on space available at the time they register. If space is not available at the neighborhood school, students will be placed at a different school until space becomes available at their neighborhood school. Students are enrolled in the order in which they register.
