Registration Process for NEW STUDENTS for 2025-2024 School Year (next school year)
Enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year will begin at 9:00am on February 1, 2025.
The parent portal is currently locked as it updates to for the new school year. Parents/guardians will be able to make new accounts on Feb. 1st. Parents of current students will be able to add a new student on Feb. 1st.
Assignment of students to schools is done on a first-come, first served basis. However, there is a misconception that parents/guardians must submit enrollment on Feb. 1 in order to get the school of their choice. Please note the following:
- Parents who rush almost always have missing or incomplete enrollment packets that cause delays for everyone. Sections with errors or incomplete information will be rejected (they show up as yellow in the parent portal). The date/time stamp in our system is the date/time of the most recent change to the enrollment packet.
- For the past several years, every student who enrolled prior to June 30 was assigned to the school of their choice.
- Current TK students at Panorama do not have to re-enroll, but will have priority enrollment in the school of their choice for Kindergarten.
- Siblings of continuing students will have secondary priority for enrollment at the same school if enrolled by the end of February.
An important note about Health Exams and Immunizations:
- Only the Health Exam for School Entry is accepted. Forms for Child Care do not meet the state requirements.
- Only students who have not reached their 5th birthday should be missing a Health Exam during enrollment.
- Students who have completed their 5th birthday will not be assigned to a school or class without the Health Exam.
- Low-cost and free health exams and immunizations are available at the link posted in the Checkbox.
BSD Parent Portal Instructions
-
Parents of current students must use the email address on file with the school or your student will not be linked to your account.
-
Select Forgot My Password if you do have or do not remember your login password. New families do NOT need an access code.
-
Please do not create more than one account per household. For students with two parent households, contact the District Office for help in linking both parents/guardians to the same account.
-
Please do not add the same student in multiple times - this clogs our system.
-
The adult who creates the parent account is NOT automatically listed as an adult in the household. Only adults listed under In Home Family Members will be uploaded into our student database. Adults not listed will not receive parent communications.

Assignment of Students to Schools and Classrooms
- Current TK students enrolled at Panorama School will have priority for Kindergarten in either school until February 28. Beginning March 1, students will join the queue in the order in which a request is received. TK students who un-enroll mid-year will need to re-enroll and will be considered in the general queue.
- Resident students who have a sibling attending the same school will be given priority if enrollment is received by end of day on February 28. Beginning March 1, sibling enrollment will be processed in the date/time order in which it was received. School placement is still not guaranteed as it is dependent upon space.
- Resident students who wish to transfer from one elementary school to another for the next school year will be given priority consideration over students new to the District. School placement is still not guaranteed as it is dependent upon space.
- Per contractual agreement, non-resident children of employees are treated as District residents. However, employees must still obtain an approved interdistrict transfer from their district of residence.
- Children who are victims of harmful and dangerous situations, including bullying in another school district, will be given priority for enrollment in the Brisbane School District in accordance with Education Code 35160.5. Note that enrollment for these students must include additional documentation, including, but not limited to, a letter from the prior school administrator, school counselor or a court order.
- Interdistrict transfer renewals will be approved pending space in accordance with the District's board policy. The District reserves the right to refuse or revoke interdistrict transfers for continuing students if the grade level becomes too full of resident students. Interdistrict transfers may also be revoked for students whose behavior or attendance fails to meet district standards and/or who are not progressing satisfactorily toward meeting state academic standards.
- New interdistrict transfers will be considered based on space in the requested grade/school.
- The District reserves the right to change school or classroom placement of students in order to maximize District resources. Actual placement, while taking preference into consideration, is dependent upon the following criteria:a. Facility capacity and class sizeb. Balance of class size across the Districtc. Identified special education and other programmatic needs
