SPUSD 2024-2025 School Registration For New Students
Registration to enroll children who are new to South Pasadena elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year will begin on January 10, 2024. Parents/guardians interested in registering their children should first visit their home school to pick up a registration packet and schedule an appointment for an in-person meeting. The meetings will be held between January 17-23, 2024 for families who have other children in the District or January 31-February 7, 2024 for new families. The child’s home school is determined by the attendance area boundaries for each school, and addresses may be verified using the School Locator by Street posted here.
To improve the likelihood that siblings will attend the same elementary school, siblings of current students will be allowed to register first. When parents/guardians complete their registration meeting during the designated dates with the required paperwork, they are ensured an equal chance of being placed at their home school during the new family lottery, regardless of when the initial meeting takes place. The date and time of registration will only be used to determine school placement (as space permits) for children who register after February 7, 2024.
With the statewide expansion of the transitional kindergarten (TK) program, children who turn five between September 2, 2024 and June 2, 2025 will be eligible to register for the TK program offered this fall. Children born between September 2, 2019 and June 2, 2020 are eligible for transitional kindergarten. More information about the TK program may be found on the SPUSD website and TK registration information may be found here.
SPUSD also offers a Dual Language Immersion Program for elementary and middle school children. For parents interested in learning more about the program, SPUSD created a general overview presentation that has been shared on the Dual Language Immersion (DI) Program webpage.
Children who are currently enrolled at SPUSD schools are automatically registered for the following school year. School registration is a multi-step process and should be followed as outlined on this link:
