Enrollment FAQ

To complete registration, parents or guardians must provide the following standard documents:

• Proof of Residency: A recent utility bill (gas, electric, or water), lease agreement, or mortgage statement displaying your name and current address within district boundaries.
• Proof of Age: Official birth certificate, passport, or court-issued guardianship document.
• Immunization & Health Records: Up-to-date state-required immunization records signed by a healthcare provider.
• Academic Records: Official transcripts or final report card from the student's previous school (for grades 1–12).

School placement is determined by your residential address within district boundaries. To confirm your child’s assigned neighborhood school, you can:

• Review the Attendance Map: Download the current district Attendance Boundary Map.
• Contact Central Registration: Call the District Registration Office directly at (555) 019-2831 or email enrollment@riverdaleusd.org with your home address, and a staff member will confirm your designated school.

If you wish to request a transfer to a school outside your assigned boundary, you must submit an Intra-District Transfer Request form in person at the district office prior to the open enrollment deadline.

Riverdale USD offers an online pre-registration process through the Riverdale Parent Portal, where you can fill out forms and upload digital copies of required documents. However, a final in-person visit to your assigned school's main office is required to verify original identification documents and sign the enrollment agreement.

While Riverdale USD accepts new students year-round, we strongly encourage families to complete enrollment by July 15 for the upcoming fall semester. Registering early guarantees placement at your neighborhood school and ensures your student receives class schedules and bus transportation arrangements prior to the first day of school.

During the online registration process, check the option indicating that your child currently receives specialized services and upload a copy of their current IEP, 504 Plan, or ELL assessment. Once enrollment is submitted, a representative from the Riverdale USD Student Services Department will contact you to review the plan and schedule an intake meeting before classes start.
