Enrollment

This page is intended to provide you with general information for registering your child in Valdez City Schools. Please be sure to contact the specific school your child will be attending for additional information.

Student enrollment at Valdez City Schools is available online. Our electronic registration system simplifies the paperwork process for parents and guardians, allowing you to review, sign, and submit your child’s required forms digitally online via computer or mobile device . This process is intended to make the new school year form updates fast, easy, and safe.

Students New to VCS

Pre-Registration for NEW students in grades PK-12 is now open! Select the button below to complete a pre-registration form for each new incoming student.

This includes pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students starting school for the first time.

New Student Enrollment

In order to register in Valdez City Schools, new students are required to submit the following as per VCS board policy.

  • Original birth certificate.  A birth certificate is required for verification.
  • Meet immunization requirements.  
    • All students need to provide a copy of their current record of immunizations. Prior to first entry into school, a child must be fully immunized as required by law or file the necessary exemption paperwork. Please contact the school nurse if you have questions.

** These initial registration requirements are not applicable for students experiencing homelessness or those in Office of Children’s Services (OCS) custody/foster care; please contact your school secretary to get more information on these special circumstances.

Once pre-registration is complete, each school's front office will process the submission and send an email in early August with information regarding access to the Powerschool Parent Portal and full online enrollment packet.
