Enrollment & Forms

Access Online Registration

Registration for school is completed online. Families without access to technology should contact their school and schedule an appointment for assistance. If you are new to the area or are unsure of which school your child should attend, contact the school district office to determine their neighborhood school. Paper registration packets can be requested through the school sites. Those who want to attend a school different than their neighborhood school should complete an Intradistrict Transfer form for consideration of transfer.

Education Benefit Form

Ukiah Unified parents will be asked to complete the Educational Benefit Form every three years. Parents of NEW students need to complete a form for each new student. Ukiah Unified School District receives additional funding to increase or improve educational opportunities for our students. Without these forms completed, we may lose funding that directly supports our students' education. Completing this form allows us to qualify for funding that supports critical programs such as music, art, athletics, computers and technology, counselors, reduced class size, school nutrition, ASES, and many other programs.

If you need help completing the form, please reach out to your child’s school.

Interdistrict Transfers

New Students Who Reside Outside of UUSD

California law requires school districts to provide an education to any student who resides within the district’s attendance area. Although students have the right under California law to free, public education, the law does not guarantee that a student can attend the school of his or her choice. Students who reside outside of the district and wish to enroll in a UUSD school must submit the following items to the school site for review:

interdistrict transfer request and/or interdistrict transfer agreement that was submitted to their district of residence
most recent grade report
current attendance report
current discipline report

UUSD Board Policy

MCOE 2022-28 Interdistrict Attendance Agreement

All students should have a 95% attendance rate for the most recent grading period to be considered for enrollment in Ukiah Unified. Secondary students should also have a grade point average of 2.0 or higher. Students must show good citizenship and behavior with no major disciplinary infractions. If there is room to enroll the student, and they meet all of the requirements, the student will be considered for enrollment.

TK and Kindergarten students who have not been enrolled in a previous school only need to submit a copy of the interdistrict transfer requests. Attendance, behavior, and academic progress will be monitored after enrollment by the site principal to determine if the interdistrict agreement should continue from year to year. To remain on an interdistrict transfer the student must maintain these specified criteria:

Maintain a minimum attendance rate of 95% for each grading period.
Attend school on time and have no truancies or unexcused absences
Maintain appropriate school behavior
Secondary students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 for each grading period

Students Residing in UUSD but wishing to transfer to a different district.

If a student resides in UUSD boundaries but wishes to transfer to a district outside the boundaries, the parents should complete an interdistrict transfer request and submit it to Ukiah Unified School District Service Center. Download forms here then drop off all completed forms at the Ukiah Unified School District Office located at 511 S. Orchard Avenue in Ukiah, CA.
