New Student Registration

Welcome, we are excited for your child to join Provo City School District! The following will provide you with information regarding the registration of your student.

Registration is a 2-step process, mainly done online.

If you do not have access to the Internet at home, you may register anyplace you can find access to the internet, you may visit the schools and use their computers,  provide the information over the phone, or contact our office in Student Services for help.

Kindergarten

Children who will be 5 years old on or before September 1 are eligible for enrollment.

• Please click here for information regarding Spring kindergarten registration.

Step 1

Submit basic information.

• Preregistration Form – Follow this link and fill out the basic information

The school’s registrar will create a Powerschool Parent Portal Account and send you an email with further instructions. This process will take place in a matter of 2-3 days while the school year is still in session. 

Registrations that are submitted during the summer months may have a longer delay, if the enrollment is for the next school year it will be processed during the summer time.  Please be aware that all the schools are closed during July.  

Step 2

Login to Powerschool using the information sent to you in the email from the registrar.

Fill out the second portion; this should take you approximately 20-30 min. If you need help, please contact your school, or visit Student Services

Provide the following original documents to the school:

• Child’s birth certificate
• Child’s immunization records – including dates of all shots, or exception certificates. Please see the information about immunization for more details.
• Proof of address (example: utility bill or rental agreement)
• Photo ID
• TB testing (if applicable)**

**Utah County requires proof of tuberculosis testing for ALL foreign-born students* entering schools for the first time, and students who have lived in a foreign country* for six months or more within the past five years. *except Canada

For High School Students we highly recommend to submit a transcript or withdrawn form from the previous school.

Please do not send any documentation through email.  You can submit these documents through one of the following methods:

• Send Registered Mail – parents would mail the documents to the schools or DO 
• Call the school and make an appointment to receive the paperwork.

For registration to be complete both the online information and the above-named items must be received by the school.

Individuals with Disabilities

Provo City School District is interested in alleviating any unnecessary stress to individuals with disabilities. When students with disabilities are beginning school for the first time in a Provo school, they and their parents are encouraged to visit the school to identify barriers, which may require adaptations to accommodate their needs. To expedite any such accommodations, early contact with the Principal will be helpful.

Immunizations

Utah law requires that school records include a complete immunization record. Utah State law requires the following immunizations for the protection of your child and others from communicable diseases:

For Kindergarten to 6th grade attendance school year:

• 5 DTaP*

*The 5th DTP and 4th Polio immunizations need to be given after the child’s 4th birthday, the first MMR and Chickenpox vaccines must be given after the first birthday.

** Documentation of varicella disease or “chicken pox” must be confirmed by your licensed healthcare provider if no varicella immunization has been given.
