School Registration Information (Updated on June 30, 2026)
Welcome to Salt Lake City School District registration. We welcome both new and returning students and are excited for you to be part of our district!
Online registration opens on July 15, 2026. To enroll in an SLCSD school, every student, new students and returning students, needs to register each year. The following documentation is required:
- proof of residence or an approved exception, such as:
- a Utah driver’s license or driver’s privilege card,
- mail received from an established business with your name and address,
- a rent or mortgage payment statement, or
- a utility bill, phone bill, or work order.
- a certified copy of the student’s birth certificate or other reliable proof of the student’s identity and age, and
- a certified and complete immunization record or official immunization exemption.
The online application is available in multiple languages and could take up to 20 minutes to complete, less time for returning students and more time if you also fill out the free and reduced price school meals application.

Kindergarten Registration
We’re so glad you’re here exploring kindergarten for your child. Beginning school is a big milestone, and we’re honored you’re considering our schools as the place where your child’s learning journey will begin. Our goal is to create a strong foundation for curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning in every student.
To enroll in kindergarten, students must be at least five years old on or before September 1 of the school year they're enrolling for. If your child is younger, please consider enrolling in our Early Childhood programs.
We have a page dedicated to Kindergarten Registration, with more information and links for parents.

Other Times of the Year
Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment applications will be accepted throughout the year.

Schools may not be able to approve an open enrollment application until after the beginning of school, when the principal can determine if space is available to accommodate the request.
