Regular enrollment in the Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) is the process by which students are registered to attend one of the district's schools for the upcoming academic year. Families are required to complete online registration forms and submit necessary documentation, including proof of residency within the district boundaries, the student’s birth certificate, and up-to-date immunization records. SUSD also offers enrollment assistance through individual school sites to help families navigate the process. Once all forms are submitted and reviewed, students are assigned to their designated school based on their residential address or through open enrollment options if space is available. The district emphasizes the importance of timely enrollment to ensure that students are placed in the appropriate grade level and can fully participate in orientation and other preparatory activities before the school year begins. This process is essential to maintaining an organized and effective educational environment across the district.

Live outside of our district boundaries? No problem! You can open enroll into any of our schools to take advantage of our distinct district programs.
