New Student Registration
To register a student who is not currently attending a school in the Ross Valley School District, visit Student Registration for process information and forms. Click on the applicable school year.
For the 2019-20 School Year
Online Registration begins Friday, January 25, 2019, and In-Person Registration begins Monday, February 4, 2019. We do not accept registration items via fax, mail, or email. Please note that only completed registration packets are accepted and each is date/time stamped. A completed registration packet includes the online Student Registration Forms on SchoolMint and the In-Person Forms and Documentation.
To assist the District in enrollment, staffing, and facilities planning, please complete the registration process by March 1 or as soon as possible. Because many elementary grade levels and schools in the Ross Valley School District are impacted, if more students register at their school of residence than can be accommodated, even if by March 1, students may be assigned to another district school where space is available. Any reassignments will be determined prior to the student’s first day of attendance.
