What this document actually says
This policy, last updated June 6, 2023, establishes how students enroll in Reed Union School District schools. The district must verify a child's age, residence, and immunization status before enrollment. Critically, the district cannot ask about a student's or family's social security number, citizenship, or immigration status during enrollment. Staff receive training on proper documentation requirements. The policy provides special protections for homeless students, foster youth, students in the juvenile justice system, and military families—these students must be enrolled immediately even if they lack typical paperwork, owe fees to previous schools, or don't have required clothing like uniforms. The Superintendent publicizes registration timelines and helps families complete enrollment procedures. All eligible children are encouraged to enroll.
What this means for your family
Your family's immigration status cannot prevent your child from enrolling. The district will not ask about citizenship or social security numbers during registration. If your child is homeless, in foster care, involved with juvenile justice, or from a military family, they must be enrolled immediately—even without records, uniforms, or if they owe money to another school. The district will help you through the enrollment process.
