Online Registration

New student enrollment for 2023-24 will open on April 10, 2023. Enrollment for the current year can be submitted at any time. 
 
New student enrollment will be processed through ParentVUE, a secure, online portal where you will electronically submit all required documents and complete all enrollment forms digitally using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Once your student's enrollment is complete, stay connected by using ParentVUE to check attendance, contact your child's teacher, and more!
 

Enrollment Steps

 

Step 1 - Gather all required documents. 

 
Verification of age
Provide one document: 
          • Birth certificate
          • Passport
          • Baptismal certificate
 
Immunization records
Complete immunization records must be presented at the time of registration. Registration and school placement will not be finalized until complete documentation showing that the child meets all California immunization requirements for school entry has been received. 
 
Proof of residence
Provide two of the accepted documents listed on the District Residency Requirements page. 
 

Custody documentation (if applicable)

 
Physical health examination (Kindergarten ONLY)
Please download and have your medical provider complete the Physical Health Examination Form. This form is not needed at the time of initial enrollment, but DMUSD asks that it be completed before your child begins kindergarten. 
 
Dental health examination (Kindergarten ONLY)
California law requires that a student must provide proof of having received an oral health assessment by May 31st in either Kindergarten or 1st grade, whichever is your child's first year in public school. Please download and have your dental provider complete the Dental Health Examination Form. This form is not needed at the time of initial enrollment, but DMUSD asks that it be completed before your child begins kindergarten.

Del Mar Heights School Rebuild

Del Mar Heights School Rebuild

  • Del Mar Heights School is currently closed for renovations.
  • Kindergarten - 3rd grade students are currently housed on the Del Mar Hills Academy campus.
  • 4th grade - 6th grade students are currently housed on the Ocean Air School campus.
  • Del Mar Heights students will be assigned classes within their school cohort to maintain continuity of the student population during this temporary displacement. 
School Assignment

School Assignment

At certain times of the year, DMUSD schools may be at or near capacity.  When that occurs, new students are assigned to another DMUSD school where space is available.  For current information on a school's enrollment capacity, contact Student Services at ashepard@dmusd.org.  Every effort is made to place students at the school in their attendance area; however, due to the growth within the District in the last several years and the District's commitment to maintain balanced, low class sizes at all school sites, it has been necessary to establish district-wide school placement procedures.  The placement of each student will be handled according to established Board approved priority designations and Board Policy/Administrative Regulations 5111, 5116, 5116.1.  Students are placed at a school on a space available basis.  It may not be possible to honor every request regarding school preference.
Residency Verification

Residency Verification

If any District employee reasonably believes the parent/guardian of a student has provided false or unreliable evidence of residency, the District shall make reasonable efforts to determine if the student meets residency requirements. Reasonable efforts include, but are not limited to home visits and investigation by a private detective. Falsification of any information or documents, either written or verbal will result in revocation of enrollment.
Child Nutrition Program
