What do I, the parent or guardian, need to do?

For step by step instructions on how to complete a student registration, or add a new student to an existing account, please see our guide: How to Complete New Student Registration Forms.

It is recommended that you complete registration using a computer. However, PowerSchool has a mobile app, available on both Android and iOS, that can be used as well. If you lack access to either a computer or mobile phone, please call our District Registrar at 802-383-6106 to set up a registration appointment.

After submitting a New Student Pre-Registration form, the registrar will review and approve your pre-registration. After it has been approved, you will receive three emails notifying you of its approval and providing you with an access ID and password. This access ID and password are used to create your parent access account for our PowerSchool system. Parents and guardians who already have a Winooski PowerSchool account will instead use this new access ID and password to add the new student to their existing account. Once your account is set up you will find the rest of the forms you need to complete in order to finish the registration process.

What do I need to complete registration?

As you prepare to fill out the registration forms, please be aware that we will require the following documents. All documents should be legible and uploaded in their entirety, including your name, date, and full address. If you do not have the ability to scan or upload these documents yourself, please contact the registrar at 802-383-6106 for assistance.

Birth Verification

One of the following:

• Certified copy of the pupil’s birth certificate
• Doctor or hospital records accompanied by sworn statement
• Court Records
• I94
• Passport

Residency Verification

One of the following:

• Rental/Lease Agreement signed within last year —must include the page with signatures.
• Mortgage statement
• Real estate tax bill from current calendar year
• Notarized Letter of Residence Form (used if you don’t have a lease or live with friends or relatives). Include names of all persons living in the household

OR

Two of the following:

• Valid Vermont non-driver ID
• Current utility bill in your name (full document, not just the envelope).
• Valid public aid card

Immunization Records

The easiest way to provide us with immunization records is to have your child’s physician fax them to our health office at 802-383-6017. If you happen to have a copy of your child’s immunizations, please bring them with you or upload them to Form E – Health Information.

I’ve finished the registration forms, what are the next steps?

After the registrar has confirmed the completion of the registration forms, they will request the students’ records from their previous school (if applicable) and contact the school counselors to determine their schedule and start date, and plan for a successful integration into the classroom. Please understand that while we appreciate the need to get students into class as soon as possible, this process takes time to complete, and may delay the student’s start date.

High school students and their parents or guardians will be invited to an official enrollment meeting with a counselor after their records have been received and reviewed, to discuss the new student’s schedule and address any additional needs or concerns.

I don’t live in Winooski, but would still like to enroll!

Typically, families are required to live in Winooski to enroll in our district. However, there are two exceptions. Families that are experiencing homelessness may qualify to enroll under the McKinney-Vento Act, and 8th to 12th graders living in another district may enroll through school choice. Both processes are detailed to the right.
