PLEASE NOTE: Your student’s enrollment ensures a seat at a school in Poway Unified. We make every effort to enroll your child at your neighborhood school. In some cases, classes at your neighborhood school may reach capacity, in which case we will work with you to place your child at a nearby school.​ 
 
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN AND/OR KINDERGARTEN LOTTERIES: Should a site be determined near capacity in grades TK or K, a lottery process may be necessary to determine student placement.

ELEMENTARY EXTENDED STUDENT SERVICES BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS

New Student Enrollment for Grades TK-5 for the 2025-2026 school year does not automatically enroll students in the Extended Student Services (ESS) before and/or after school program. A separate application process for ESS is required for all new students.

 

Effective for the 2024-2025 school year, new applications to the ESS program will be centrally managed by the District Office, Before/After School Department through a single application and interest list. Information on how to apply for ESS for the upcoming school year, will be available on the ESS webpage starting on January 19, 2024.

 

Submitting an application for ESS does not guarantee participation in the program. It is anticipated that the demand for the ESS program will exceed the program capacity at most schools. Should a site be determined near capacity for ESS enrollment, a lottery process may be necessary to determine new student placement in the program.

 

Students in Grades TK-4 participating in the ESS program during the current school year, will be considered continuing students and will not need to re-apply. New, incoming siblings of current ESS students will also be considered as "continuing" for registration purposes. Continuing students will receive continuing registration information directly from the ESS Site Supervisor by January 19, 2024.

 

Students in Grades TK-4 currently on an ESS waitlist for the program must apply as a new student to the program for the 2025-2026 school year.

SECONDARY - MIDDLE SCHOOL

Design39Campus

New Students in Grades 6-8 can apply for the ESS Bridge Program through the single application and interest list mentioned above.

 

ALL OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOLS

New Students in Grades 6-8 can apply for the ASES Program directly through the middle school site during or after “Fifth Grade Parent Night” (informational meeting for parents of incoming 6th Grade students in 2025-2026). Check your middle school’s website for information on when this meeting will be held (typically February or March).

 

During the 2025-2026 school year, new applications to the ASES Program will still be managed directly by each school site. Please visit our ASES Program webpage for general information and a directory to contact your middle school’s ASES Supervisor.
