Enroll New Students

  • Online Enrollment Process

    We are accepting enrollments for both the current 2019-2020 school year and the upcoming 2020-2021 school year through an online process while Kent School District (KSD) schools and offices are closed.

    If you are enrolling a new kindergarten student for the 2020-2021 school year, please follow the kindergarten registration process.

    Step 1: Find Your School

    Families must register new students in their boundary school. The KSD school boundaries map may not be accurate for all addresses.

    If you would like to verify your boundary school, please email enrollment@kent.k12.wa.us with your students’ grade levels and address.

    Step 2: Complete & Return the Enrollment Packet Electronically

    Download the enrollment packet for the year you wish to enter KSD.

    Complete the fillable enrollment packet electronically and email completed forms to enrollment@kent.k12.wa.us.

    1. Click the blue underlined text to open the enrollment packet in Adobe Acrobat and save it to your device. If you don’t have it already, download Adobe Acrobat for free online.
    2. Fill in the enrollment packet electronically and save the completed document to your device.
    3. Email your completed enrollment packet as an attachment to enrollment@kent.k12.wa.us. Please include your student’s name, grade level, and address in the email.

    Step 3: Wait to Hear from the School

    Once your email is received, we will send your enrollment materials to your boundary school. The school will contact you with more information regarding the start date and class information.

    Step 4: Prepare Verification Documents

    When the schools reopen, please be prepared with one of the following documents for student identification and proof of age, parent identification, and proof of address.

    Student Identification and Proof of Age

    • Birth certificate, or
    • Passport, or
    • State identification (ID) card, or
    • Another form of legal identification which includes the student’s name and birthdate.

    Parent Identification

    Kent School District maintains the right to ask for additional documents if there is a concern about any document used to establish an address. See Policy and Procedure 3110 and 3110P for more information.
