NEW STUDENT ENROLLMENT PROCESS

 

To begin the enrollment process for grades K-12, please select the "New Student Registration" button on the right. This pre-registration form is short and easy to fill out. IASD staff will review your entry and contact you based on the information provided. Note: The registration process for Pre-K is separate from Grades K-12. 
 
Pre-K Counts Program: We are currently accepting applications for the Pre-K program for the 2024-2025 school year. The Pre-K applications are paper only.  You will need to make a copy of the Pre-K Application "2024-2025 PA Pre-K Counts Enrollment Application" and fill it out. Submit the paperwork to the building secretary of your school of enrollment and you will be contacted regarding your next steps.
 
 
REQUIRED ENROLLMENT DOCUMENTATION
 
Once you have completed the pre-registration form for your child, you will receive an email from IASD staff with instructions to create a PowerSchool account in order to complete all of the required forms online. (If you have a PowerSchool account for a child already enrolled, the new student will be added to your parent account.) The forms can be filled out at your own pace. Make sure to have your student's required enrollment documentation ready before you begin the online form process, since you will be asked to upload the documentation online.
 
Except when a child is homeless, whenever a child of school age is presented for enrollment by a parent(s), school district resident, or any other person having charge or care of the child, IASD requires that the following information be documented before enrolling the child and allowing the child to attend school:
 
  • Proof of the child's age: Acceptable documentation includes: birth certificate, notarized copy of the birth certificate, baptismal certificate, copy of the record of baptism – notarized or duly certified and showing the date of birth, notarized statement from the parents or another relative indicating the date of birth, a valid passport, a prior school record indicating the date of birth.
  • Immunizations required by law: Acceptable documentation includes: either the child’s immunization record, a written statement from the former school district or from a medical office that the required immunizations have been administered, or that a required series is in progress, or verbal assurances from the former school district or a medical office that the required immunizations have been completed, with records to follow.
  • Proof of residency: Acceptable documentation includes: a deed, a lease, a current utility bill, a current credit card bill, a property tax bill, vehicle registration, a driver’s license, DOT identification card. A district may require that more than one form of residency confirmation be provided; however, school districts should be flexible in verifying residency and should consider what information is reasonable in light of the family’s situation. See Homeless and Foster Care on our website for guidance in that situation. 
  • Required health forms: Pennsylvania school health law requires a complete medical and dental examination for all students entering school. The two forms are available via the red button links, "PA Physical Examination" and "PA Dental Examination". Take these forms to your student's physician and dentist to be completed. These forms should be uploaded online during the enrollment process.
ENTITLEMENT TO EDUCATION
 
Every child of school age who is a resident of a Pennsylvania school district is entitled to a public school education. This entitlement and the requirements to secure enrollment apply equally to resident students residing with their parent(s); to non-resident students living with a district resident who is supporting the child gratis and seeking enrollment under 24 P.S. §13-1302; to nonresident students living in a facility or institution; and to nonresident students living in a foster home.
Provided that the required enrollment documentation described herein is provided, the school district or charter school must enroll non-resident children and permit them to attend school. A child should be permitted to attend school on the next school day after the day on which the child is presented for enrollment, and in all cases within five (5) business days of the school district’s receipt of the required documentation (22 Pa. Code §11.11(b)Opens In A New Window).

 

We look forward to supporting your child through his or her educational journey! If you need assistance, please call your school of attendance and one of our staff members will be glad to help you with the enrollment process.
