New Student Registration for Santa Monica and Malibu Residents

Registering your child at a school for the first time can be relatively easy if you are prepared. The following are a few guidelines to help you:

1. Registration takes place at your neighborhood school. Call the school directly for enrollment dates. (In order to find your school, click here.)
2. To enroll as a resident, you will need to verify your address by providing documents proving residency. Click here for examples of proof of residency.  Utility bills must be dated within the last 45 days from the date of enrollment. Other documents such as a driver's license or business mail may be requested to confirm your address. The enrollment staff will provide a link to complete a digital enrollment packet, and you will be asked to upload copies of your residency documents for verification.  Your school site will notify you when enrollment for your student has been completed/finalized or if further information is required.
3. You will need to verify your child's birthdate with a birth certificate or passport copy uploaded with your residency documentation.
4. You will need to submit complete immunization records for all students. Up-to-date immunizations must be completed before your child may enter the classroom. Click here to see immunization requirements.
5. For elementary school enrollment, you will need to provide a recent report card with exit grades or a progress report card if mid-year enrollment.
   For Middle/High School enrollment, you will need to provide a copy of your student’s recent transcript or exit grades if mid-year enrollment.
