Welcome to the Irvine Unified School District!
Our teachers, administrators and support staff are committed to academic excellence and quality service for our families. As such, we hope to make the enrollment process as quick and convenient as possible.
To enroll, follow the steps outlined below and you'll be on your way to a successful school experience.
Enrollment for the 2018-19 school year is open.
Before you start...
Grade-Level Placement:
It is recognized that students do their best work in school when they are placed in a grade with other students of the same chronological age. The following links provide IUSD guidelines for placing students at the appropriate grade level. Please contact your neighborhood school if you have any questions regarding grade-level placement.

Assigned Neighborhood Schools:
Based on the address of your residence in Irvine, you will be assigned a neighborhood school. Please note that Culverdale and Westpark share a "Super Attendance" area, meaning both are considered that area's neighborhood schools. If you live in this area and Westpark becomes full in a grade level, Culverdale will be considered your neighborhood school, and vice versa.
Kindergarten Programs:
There are programs set up specifically for new incoming Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten students.

- Immunization Requirements - IUSD requires that all immunizations are complete before a student's registration can be processed.

Intradistrict Open Enrollment Policy:
The district has an intradistrict open enrollment policy that allows students to apply to attend a school other than their assigned school. Approvals are for one year only and must be subsequently reviewed. Note that each school is required to serve the students who live within its attendance boundary before accepting students outside the boundary. Additionally, some schools may be unavailable for open enrollment.
****NOTICE: Irvine Unified School District is not a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certified school district. Therefore, enrollment of a student with B, F-1, J-1, or M visa status in the District could negatively impact a student's visa status.
Information on application for admission to a SEVP certified school can be found at: https://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/school-search
step 1 - Online Pre-Enrollment
For students new to the district, IUSD has set up an online data entry process that will help you get started with the enrollment process. You must have a valid address within the Irvine Unified School District attendance area to use this system. Verification of residence and immunizations will be required before you complete the enrollment process. Please note: If a student previously attended a school within IUSD and is returning, you do not need to complete the Aeries Internet Registration in Step 1, begin with Step 2.
Once the online pre-enrollment is completed, check your school's website for instructions on how to make an appointment to bring in the required documents in order to complete steps 2 & 3. Step 1 does not secure your child's spot in your assigned neighborhood school. The spot will be confirmed once all 3 steps are completed.

STEP 2 - Gather the REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
Once you have completed the online data entry process, your next step is to verify your child's enrollment eligibility. There are several required documents you must have in order to complete the enrollment process.
step 3 - Enrollment completion process
Once you have completed Steps 1 and 2, you'll need to verify enrollment. This must be done at one of two locations, depending on the time of year.
