Online Data Entry Process for Students New to the District
For students new to the district, please use our online data entry process. You must have a valid address within the Irvine Unified School District attendance area to use this system. Verification of residence and immunizations is required prior to completing the entire enrollment process. Two forms are required to verify residency: 1) the Residency Verification Form, and 2) the Residency Affidavit. (See Required Documents.) Additional information will be required by the school. Online enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year will begin on Friday, March 2, 2012.

Grade Level Placement - 2011-2012 School Year

It is recognized that students do their best work in school when they are placed in a grade with other students of the same chronological age. At this link, you will find IUSD guidelines for placing students at the appropriate grade level. Please contact your neighborhood school if you have any questions regarding grade level placement.

Displaced Students
Due to overcrowding, a student may be requested by the district to enroll in a school that is not their assigned neighborhood school. In such cases, students have the right of continued enrollment at their current school and it is treated as their home school. If there is an interest to return to their assigned neighborhood school when space becomes available, the principal of the neighborhood school should be contacted no later than noon on the fourth Friday of February.

Open Enrollment
Our Open Enrollment Policy provides the opportunity for parents who reside within the Irvine Unified School District attendance boundaries to enroll their student in any school within the district on a space available basis.  Review Options for High School Open Enrollment here. Other restrictions and conditions also apply.

Closed Schools
Some schools may be closed at any given time; some to open enrollment from inside the district. All schools are closed to new interdistrict transfers for 2011-12 and 2012-2013.
