NEW ELEMENTARY STUDENT REGISTRATION
FOR SANTA MONICA AND MALIBU RESIDENTS

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

• Registration takes place at your neighborhood school. Call the school directly for enrollment dates. (In order to find your school attendance area, call 310-450-8338, ext. 208.)
  
• You will need to verify your address. All schools require a current utility bill (gas, water or electric -- not telephone). Other documents such as a driver's license or business mail may be requested to confirm your address.
  
• You will need to verify your child's birth date with a birth certificate or passport.
  
• You will need to bring complete immunization records for all students and a doctor's verification of a physical examination for Kindergarten and First Graders. Up-to-date immunizations must be completed before your may enter the classroom. (See immunization requirements following.)

Your school of residence will provide you with a packet of forms and information which must be completed and returned. Enrollment requirements may vary slightly at each school.
