Bring in required documents to the Enrollment Center (or directly to the high school for students entering grades 9 or higher)
Enrollment is then complete!

(NOTE: The Enrollment Process is NOT COMPLETE until step 2 is completed in person)  

Enrollment for the 2025-26 school year will begin Monday, February 3rd, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. 

Step 1: Submit the Online Enrollment Form

Preparing for Step 2: Gathering Required Documents

Student’s Age Validation

Student’s Current Immunization Records

Residency Verification

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.
