AVAILABLE OPEN ENROLLMENT SEATS 2025–2026

Current District Residents
If your student is already enrolled in one of our elementary schools and is moving to another elementary boundary area within the Germantown School District there is no need to enroll again. Your information will be forwarded to the new school. You will be asked to provide new residency information.

If you are already a family of the district and need to register another child not currently enrolled, visit your Family Access page in Skyward and click on New Student Online Enrollment to begin the process.

Residency is the address at which the family physically resides, keeps their personal property, receives mail, and maintains voter registration. Post office boxes are not accepted.

If your proof-of-residency documentation was not uploaded during the enrollment application process, please take the child’s original birth certificate or passport, immunization records, and two (2) proofs of residency to the school office your child will be attending.
