Enrollment Process for PVPUSD Residents

Updated: December 14, 2022
Two steps are required to complete the enrollment process for PVPUSD residents. (1) online and (2) in-person appointment for required documents. (NOTE: The Enrollment Process is NOT COMPLETE until step 2 is completed in person) 
 
 
Enrollment for the 2023-24 school year will begin Wednesday, February 1st, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. 
Step 1:   Submit the Online Enrollment Form
 
The online enrollment form will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.  Be sure to “submit” the final application.  Print a copy! 
Preparing for Step 2: Gathering Required Documents 
Bring either: 
  • Official Birth Certificate (not a copy)
  • Valid Passport (not expired) 
For children born in Los Angeles County, you can order via email or schedule an in person appointment 
Any form of immunization record provided by your pediatrician.   
 
If you are pre-enrolling for the fall, and your child hasn’t completed all of the immunizations yet, that’s ok for pre-enrollment ONLY.  Immunizations are required to be completed prior to starting school. 
 
To prove your family resides in the PVPUSD, we require each resident to provide TWO different utility bills, or a variation of a utility bill and other documents.  For more details about residency verification options, click here
 
Does your household receive paper utility bills mailed/delivered to the home?   
Great!  Bring in TWO different utility bills (cable, internet, home phone, electricity, water, trash, or gas). They must include: 
  • Service address AND mailing address to the residence provided 
  • In-tact document dated within 60 days (stubs/bottom portion only will not be accepted)
  • Parent/Guardian listed as the primary account holder 
 
Does your household pay bills online only or receive e-Statements? 
Electronically generated documents (.PDFs,.JPGs,.PNGs,etc. printed off a browser or from an email address) will NOT be accepted as an official document. 
 
If you receive eBills, you may choose from the options below (Option 1 is preferred, as it offers a faster and more efficient enrollment process.)
 
Option 1 (Preferred):
Contact any TWO utility providers and request the specific document MAILED (not emailed) to your residence.  This will take 5-7 business days. Leave the letter sealed to verify the authenticity.  The document will only be accepted for up to 60 days. 
 
Select utilities where: 
  • Service address AND mailing address to the residence provided 
  • Parent/Guardian listed as the primary account holder 
 
UTILITY CONTACTS:  
Utility Provider Document Request to MAIL: Contact Information Notes:
Athens Trash Service Request a hard copy of your bill to be mailed to you  Email [email protected] (include account number, name and address in the email)   
California Water Service Request a hard copy of your bill OR Service Verification to be mailed to you   (310) 257-1400  Bring all pages of the bill 
SoCal Gas Request Letter of Service Verification  (877) 238-0092   
Southern California Edison Request Letter of Residency  (800) 655-4555   
 
Option 2:
Verify the account electronically at the time of enrollment on a PVPUSD kiosk.  Staff will verify the authenticity of the service provider. You will need to login to your service provider account from the PVPUSD kiosk (NOT your personal device/phone) and to print your current utility bill from a secure browser. 
 
To expedite this process: 
✔ Know your username and password for at least two of your utility service providers 
 
Please note that this option can potentially lengthen your enrollment process if you are chasing down username and password reset emails. It is imperative that you know your account username and password prior to your appointment. 
Bring the most recent report card to validate the current grade level and course progress.
 
If the student is transferring to high school, bring a recent transcript, showing graduation status and credits received to date.  Contact the current/previous school for guidance on that process. 
Does the student receive special services that are identified and agreed upon in a plan?  
 
Bring a copy of the most recent plan so we may work with the Student Services department and school site on best preparing to support your child.
