Register Your Child in Three Steps
Step 1: Find your school assignment by address
- Students residing in Portland Public Schools have the right to enroll at the school assigned to their home address.
- Enter your home address in School Finder. If the address is not found in School Finder, contact the Enrollment and Transfer Center at enrollment-office@pps.net or call (503) 916-3205.
- Proof of your home address is required to start the registration process.
- Please call (503) 916-5770 or visit the McKinney-Vento website if you are living in unstable housing and would like help enrolling your child in school.
Step 2: Collect information to complete registration
- Proof of student name and birth date
- Examples: Birth certificate, passport, or similar document
- Proof of age documents are required for incoming kindergartners and students who have never attended school in the United States. It is not required for students who have previously been enrolled.
- Two address verification documents
- Examples: Mortgage, rental agreement, utility bill, property tax, insurance or governmental assistance statement
- Must be dated within the last 30 days with parent name, home address, and date visible.
- If you are not able to present proof of address, contact the school or the Enrollment and Transfer Center.
- Immunization Record (returning students--check with your school)
- Vision and Dental Screening (children age 7 and under only)
- Emergency contact information
- Previous school’s contact information (not required at the start of kindergarten)
Step 3: Register
Online Registration is through ParentVUE. Information and links to create, activate, or log into ParentVUE is located at www.pps.net/parentvue.
Online registration creates a PPS ID number for new students. If your child was enrolled in PPS in the past, please use the paper registration forms.
What To Expect Next
- The school admin assistant will follow up to request any missing information or documentation.
- A records request will be sent to the previous school, if applicable.
- You will begin receiving enrollment information, such as a class schedule, and times to meet your new teacher and staff.
- If you are registering during the summer, please note that schools are closed until mid-August, so you may not hear from them until 1-2 weeks before the start of the school year.
