School registration

Online registration for the 2018-19 school year opens Wednesday for Pleasanton Unified School District students, both returning and new.

Parents and guardians can access the online forms through the district’s webpage at pleasantonusd.net, where they will be guided through the various registration steps.

After completing the online process, families will receive a confirmation email, which they should print out and bring to the final and in-person registration step — walk-through registration at students’ respective school sites.

For specific dates and times of walk-through registration, check individual school websites. All families should also receive a letter in the mail with instructions on the process.
