Registration Information for Incoming 9th Grade High School Students

Incoming Freshman Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year

It's that time of the year! Enrolling your freshman is an adventure filled with excitement, nerves, and a checklist of must-do's. At Galt High School, we understand the significance of this event and strive to make the process as seamless as possible. To assist you in registering your incoming freshman for the 2024-2025 academic year, we have put together a timeline of essential events, dates, and resources to ensure a smooth transition. This information will provide you with details to make the registration process more accessible.

All enrollment is done electronically using our Student Data System, PowerSchool. This is an online tool that provides the district with all the necessary information to start a student's enrollment. This process requires the parent/legal guardian to create an account and input student and parent information along with the required documentation. While this tool can be accessed via a computer or phone, we strongly recommend using a computer.

Please follow the important steps below to enroll your student.

FIND YOUR SCHOOL

It's important to note the following guidelines:
• The high school placement of a student is determined by their primary home address.
• PO Boxes are NOT acceptable as proof of residency.
• All documentation provided for residency must be current, valid, and legible

FAQ’S (click on arrow) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*California Education Code (48204.1) requires that a school district must verify a student’s residency using reasonable evidence. The district uses residency information during the student enrollment process, to establish school of attendance, and when processing Caregiver and Residency Affidavits and Inter/Intradistrict Transfer Agreements. Parents/legal guardians must provide documents to the district as proof of residency within GJUHSD boundaries. Any documents provided to establish residency must include the name of the parent/legal guardian and current home address.

If the parent or guardian is unable to provide proof of residency in their name, a notarized affidavit is required. See application below.

If a students resides with a someone other than a parent, a notarized caregiver affidavit is required. See application below.

How do I get started?

If you’ve never completed an online Registration using this system, you should create an account. This allows you to securely save your work and come back at a later time if necessary.
If you already have an account, you can sign in and complete the form (you should use the same account to complete forms for multiple children).

Do I have to answer all the questions?

Questions marked “required” will need to be answered.

What if I make a mistake?

If you would like to make a change, click on the underlined field or click “Previous” below to return to a previous page.

I’ve completed the form, now what?

When you have finished entering your information, click “Submit.” This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure that you have answered all required questions.

What if I have more than one student in the district?

Do I need to do this for each child? Yes, because you’ll need to provide information that is specific for each child. We recommend that you submit one Registration and then start another – this will allow you to “snap over” shared family information, which will save you time.

I don’t know what a question is asking.
