Enrollment Information

THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS 
 
BEFORE YOU START...
What is your school of residency? Use the School Locator (click here) and type in your home address. The map will help you determine which RBUSD school is your neighborhood school. 
 
What grade is your student eligible for enrollment? It is recognized that students do their best work in school when they are placed in a grade with other students of the same chronological age. The following links (2024-25 Grade Level Placement, 2025-26 Grade Level Placement) provide RBUSD guidelines for placing students at the appropriate grade level. Please contact your neighborhood school if you have any questions regarding grade-level placement.
 
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN
Are you the parent/guardian of an incoming Transitional Kindergarten (TK) student? Children who will turn 5 between September 2, 2025 and September 1, 2026 are eligible for Transitional Kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year. (Enrollment for TK for 2025-26 school year will begin on February 3, 2025.)
 
Follow the link ABOVE to complete your enrollment application online. Be prepared to answer demographic and health information about your family, student and emergency contacts. If you are enrolling more than one student, you will be prompted to complete each student individually under the same account.
