There’s Still Time to Enroll Your Children for the 2023–2024 School Year
SAN BERNARDINO, CA— Families who have not yet enrolled their child to attend a San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) elementary, middle, or high school will have a convenient Saturday option to sign up before school starts. SBCUSD will host Enrollment Fairs at Jones Elementary School on Saturday, July 15 and Saturday, July 29 from 9 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
“We know many families work during the week, so we’re offering Saturday enrollment to make the process easy and accessible for everyone,” said Linda Bardere, SBCUSD’s Interim Chief Communications and Community Engagement Officer. “Our schools have so much to offer families and students, including free breakfast and lunch and free after-school programs that provide students a safe place to learn and play on school days.”
SBCUSD’s Saturday, July 15 Enrollment Fair will be held at Jones Elementary School, 700 North F Street in San Bernardino. Students in transitional kindergarten (TK) through high school are eligible to enroll at the Fair. Families can also enroll their children online.
In addition to completing online enrollment, parents and guardians will need several documents to enroll their child in school:
- Child’s birth verification (i.e. birth certificate, hospital certificate, baptismal certificate, passport)
- Child’s immunization record
- Parent/guardian photo identification
- Address verification (i.e. utility bill dated within 60 days, lease/rental agreement, or affidavit from landlord)
- Court documents (if applicable)
Children who will be 5 years old by September 1, 2023, are eligible to enroll in kindergarten for the 2023–2024 school year. Transitional kindergarten (TK) is available for students who will turn 5 years old from September 2, 2023, to April 2, 2024.
SBCUSD families may visit the online School Site Locator to determine their child’s home school. For more information about determining your child’s home school or how to enroll, contact Enrollment and Placement Services at (909) 889-7576 or enrollmentcenter@sbcusd.k12.ca.us.
