WELCOME TO SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
Help us serve you better by using the ADMISSION CHECKLIST below as you collect the
information and documents necessary to enroll your child in Seattle Public Schools.
New students are assigned to their attendance area school based on verified
residence address. ASSIGNMENT CANNOT BE MADE WITHOUT ADDRESS
VERIFICATION.
Students who need specialized services not available at their attendance area school
will be assigned to a designated “linked” school.
To find your attendance area school, use our online Address Look Up Tool. Go to
www.seattleschools.org/enrollment or call (206) 252-0760 for assistance.
Students may also apply to attend any other school in the district. Assignment
depends on space availability and the assignment rules in effect at the time of
application. If you wish to apply for another school, you will need to submit a School
Choice Form in addition to this Admission Form.
SPS is implementing a new student assignment plan, and a Transition Plan is in place
for assignment of current students, students who have moved, and returning students
previously enrolled in the district.
