Did you know that your employment address can also be used to register your child for school?

California law allows business owners and their employees to register their children in Clovis Unified if their employment address lies within the boundaries of Clovis Unified Schools.

It's as simple as showing proof that you are employed within Clovis Unified's 198 square mile boundary.

To enroll a child in Clovis Unified under the Employment Based Residence Law
(CA Ed Code 48204) present a current paycheck stub or business license to the District’s Student Services and School Attendance Office (located at 1465 David E. Cook Way, Clovis; 559-327-9200) and fill out an Employment Based Residency Request Form.  It is not necessary to first contact your current school district.

• Generally, in under a week the District will inform you of the Clovis Unified schools at which there is room for your child to enroll.
• Once enrollment is authorized, in addition to your approval letter from the Student Services Office, you will need the following documents to enroll at your new school:
• Child’s Birth Certificate
• Child’s Immunization Records
• PG & E Bill or Renter’s Agreement to establish a home mailing address
• Once enrolled in Clovis Unified, parents/guardians must simply present annual proof of employment within the 198-square mile boundary of the District.  As long as an individual remains employed somewhere within the boundaries of Clovis Unified, the child’s enrollment is valid through the 12th grade.

While some CUSD schools are at enrollment capacity, staff at the Student Services Office works with families to enroll in one of their schools of choice. Secondary students (grades 7-12) who enroll using the Employment Based Residence Law will face some restrictions on athletic eligibility for 365 days. More information about Employment Based Enrollment is available online at www.cusd.com/sssa/enroll.htm.

Currently, the following schools are at or above their enrollment capacity for the 2008-2009 school year and may not be able to accommodate new students:
