New Student Enrollment for the 2021-2022 School Year

Registration for the 2021-2022 school year will begin on February 02, 2021. Priority Registration for Whittier City School District Families is February 2 - March 2, 2021. During priority registration, WCSD families have the opportunity to request Intra-District Transfers for the 2021-2022 school year. Families may continue to enroll throughout the school year.

Note: Current WCSD 5th grade students promoting to Middle School do not need to complete a new registration packet. If a student is seeking enrollment in a school other than their home school, an Intra-District permit will need to be submitted to their home school. Visit our Permits page for more information.

Registration and Enrollment Amidst COVID-19 School Closures

WCSD is committed to providing a safe environment for students, families, and staff. Due to current and ongoing COVID-19 surges and changing county health orders, WCSD is adopting new registration procedures while schools remain closed to the public. The following information reviews the 2021-2022 pre-registration process during distance learning.

Families have three options to submit pre-registration paperwork in the event that school offices remain closed to the public during the pandemic:

1. Online

Parents may download the PDF filable form, complete it, save it, and email it to their child's home school's general email address. Upon receipt of pre-registration forms, school site secretaries will contact parents and schedule an appointment to collect required documents (proof of address, proof of age, and immunizations) to complete the registration.

2. In Person

During school site office hours, parents may pick-up a registration packet from their home school, complete it, and return it to the school site either in person or scan and email the registration to the school site secretary. Upon receipt of pre-registration forms, school site secretaries will contact parents and schedule an appointment to collect required documents (proof of address, proof of age, and immunizations) to complete the registration. Note: please contact the school for office hours or to schedule an appointment.

3. Mail

Upon completing the registration packet, parents may mail their child's packet to their child's home school. Upon receipt of pre-registration forms, school site secretaries will contact parents to schedule an appointment to collect required documents (proof of address, proof of age, and immunizations) to complete the registration.
