Additional Enrollment Support

FAQs

Who should I reach out to regarding my enrollment questions?

Your boundary school is the best place to get questions answered. Please visit dysart.org/schoolfinder to find your school and get contact information.

Do I need shot records to enroll my student in school?

Arizona law requires documentary proof of immunity against certain childhood diseases for students entering Arizona schools for the first time. With some exceptions, students subject to this requirement who lack documentary proof may enroll but not attend school until proof is provided. If your child falls into this category, more detailed information is available at your school.

What if I live with someone and do not have a Proof of Residency in my name?

The person that you are residing with will need to fill out and have notarized the affidavit of shared residence. With that form you would need to also bring a Proof of Residency in the name of the person you are residing with. Proof of residency examples include the following: a utility bill (gas, electric, water), a purchase or escrow agreement, or lease or rental agreement.

My home address does not appear in the application, how do I get that added?

Clear the address fields and enter only the house number and street name in the correct box. If it does not appear in the list below, please contact the boundary school and ask to have the address added.

I am having trouble uploading my documents, what should I do?

Bring the copies of your documents to the school when you have your final enrollment meeting.

Why do I need to have an in person enrollment meeting?

Per A.R.S. 15-828, the following documents are required to be viewed in person in the school front office: Certified copy of student's Birth Certificate, Parent/Guardian government issued photo identification, and a signed Home Language Survey form, as required by the Arizona Department of Education. Please be aware that even if you submitted these electronically, we must verify them in person to finalize enrollment.

Why do I need to add an emergency contact?

In the event an unexpected emergency happens at school and we are unable to reach a parent or guardian, it is essential to have an alternative contact who may have a different way to reach the parent/guardian. This contact can be a family member, close friend or neighbor, and it does not necessarily need to reside in Arizona.

What if I live in an unorganized territory?

Unorganized territories are those areas of Maricopa County that do not fall within the boundaries of a school district. Families wishing to enroll from an Unorganized Area to a Dysart School must follow the process outlined in statute. Begin the enrollment process, and along the way a Certificate of Educational Convenience (CEC) must be completed and provided to the district. It will be sent to the Maricopa County Superintendent. Only through this process can enrollment occur. Currently, the district is directing new students in Unorganized Areas to Countryside Elementary (K-4), Ashton Ranch Middle School (5-8) and Willow Canyon High School. Students may be provided bus Transportation from an existing stop within the school’s attendance area boundaries. No buses leave the district to transport students.

New students in Unorganized Areas with an IEP or other specialized needs should begin the enrollment process to have their needs addressed.

Families may also apply for Open Enrollment to any Dysart Unified School District school of their choice. Placement is subject to capacity and transportation is not provided for Open Enrollment.
