If you are unsure which is your school of residence, please contact 626-441-5810 X1120 and ask to verify your address and the corresponding elementary school/school of residence.

Registration hours are 9am - 12pm and 1pm - 3pm. (If you do not know your elementary site, call the district office 626-441-5810 x1120 and give your address).

The District Office is located at 1020 El Centro St., South Pasadena. Your first opportunity to register will be Monday August 9, 2010 and Tuesday August 10, from 9 am - 12 pm and from 1 pm to 4 pm. Registration will take place at the District Office, Room 4.

Additionally, every parent is expected to attend "Round Up" which will take place August 17, 18 & 19, 2010. This year, the district will not be requiring proof of residency at registration for currently enrolled students. You will be expected to verify your current address, phone numbers and email address as printed out from the school's database, and turn in a completed District Acknowledgement Form.  You only need to bring in three current proofs of residence if you have recently moved to a South Pasadena address which is different from the address of record in the school's database. South Pasadena schools begin on Monday August 30, 2010.
 
You may not register for school until you reside in South Pasadena and have your appropriate three proofs of residence, and registration must be done by the parent or legal guardian of the child.
 
Incoming Kindergarten students must be 5 years old by December 2, 2010.  This is per California Education Code (48000a), and no exceptions will be made.

Please remember that all incoming students who have moved here from out of state or out of the country will need to provide proof of a Mantoux TB test and negative reading, performed in the US, and valid within the past year.  If you need help in obtaining this shot, you may contact the Monrovia Health Services clinic at 626-256-1600. They provide a free Mantoux TB test and other immunizations for children.

If you are the legal guardian of a student, or are residing in a "Dual Family Residency" (two families sharing a residence), you will need to contact the Office of Personnel at 626-441-5810 X1130 for an appointment prior to  registering your child(ren). For more information, please look under "District Enrollment Policies" under "Guardianship Information" and "Dual Residency Requirements".
