Academic Planning and CRFs
2020-2021 Enrollment and Transfers
Poway High School Enrollment opens May 4. If you would like to be sent an email when appointments become available, please sign up for the Enrollment Appointments Waitlist here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetswEPlGH0EBlmqZUKBzh4hAnbeAEXv0ix_RzqXi07IxEJsw/viewform?usp=sf_link
*If your 8th grade student is enrolled at a PUSD middle school, you DO NOT need an enrollment appointment. Please follow the Course Request instructions provided at your middle school.
Inter/Intra District Transfer requests for 20-21 are now open. NOTE: 3/31/20 is the last day to apply for an IDT for the 20-21 School Year. No late applications will be accepted. Even if your student is on an IDT to one of our feeder schools, they will need a new IDT for next year unless Poway is their home school.
Registration - Not the same as Enrollment. Really.
You enroll in Poway Unified once. You register EVERY YEAR. Registration is the chance for you to verify or make changes your personal information and to actively state that your child will be attending the school again.
