All students are required to complete online enrollment. Students enroll in their boundary school according to their home address unless they choose to attend the virtual school.

• The virtual school is open to all students in grades 6-12. Students who reside in the Kent School District boundary will be prioritized for enrollment in the 2022-2023 school year.
• Year-round transfers may be reviewed for childcare or special programs.
• The annual student transfer process allows families to request a transfer for the following school year for specific reasons.

Prior to enrollment, you will want to gather information such as contact information for parents/guardians and emergency contacts, information about previous schooling, health information, and information about any special services received or needed for your student. You will also need proof address, student ID/age verification, and student immunization records. These verification documents must be reviewed by the school prior to the enrollment being processed.

We recommend completing online enrollment as soon as possible. The application is open all summer, so there is no reason to wait. At the latest, please plan to submit your application at least one week before the first day of school to ensure your student can start on time.

If your living situation is temporary due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or you are fleeing domestic violence or have experienced a housing disaster (fire, flood, etc.) you may qualify for McKinney Vento program services.

If you are not McKinney Vento eligible, but are living with a relative or friend and do not have address documentation, please contact your boundary school for enrollment assistance. During the summer months when school offices may be closed, please call (253) 373-7235.
