    If you have a student enrolled in the District and have Skyward Family Access log-in, you can access New Student Online Enrollment by logging in to Skyward Family Access. Get more information about Skyward Family Access here.

     

    If you are NEW to the District and need a Skyward Family Access Account, visit the ACCOUNT REQUEST PAGE and complete the required fields to request an account to enroll your student(s).  Once the information has been submitted, you will receive an email with your account information and a link to access the login page.  If you have any questions, please call 360-473-1076.

    In Skyward, additional documents such as an IEP or 504 plan, grades from a previous school, or an Open Enrollment application can be uploaded, if applicable.

     

    If you are not able to upload the documents, they can be submitted at the school or District Administration office. The system will not prevent you from submitting the online application, as the step can be marked as complete without uploading any documents.

Enrollment Options

  • District Attendance Area Transfers (Open Enrollment)

    Bremerton School District’s Open Enrollment Policy #3130 allows elementary students to live in one school attendance area and attend school in another attendance area based on approval by Building Principal and the Superintendent. Parents must complete an Open Enrollment Application and submit it to desired school each year. Parents can determine their attendance area by using Infofinder.

     

    Choice Transfer

    Most students in Washington go to public schools that are closest to their homes. But parents and guardians have many enrollment options for their kids. Students can attend an approved private school, enroll in an Alternative Learning Experience program (such as an online school), be taught at home, etc. In some circumstances, they also can transfer to other schools within or outside the district in which they live. 

     

    Students who live outside the District’s boundaries are welcome to attend Bremerton School District Schools, as long as the school has sufficient space and parents are willing to provide transportation. A Choice Transfer Request from the student's resident district must be submitted and approved, before a student can be registered for classes. 

     

    For information, please reference Learning by Choice Student Enrollment Options in Washington or call Michelle Gatmen at 360-473-1006.
