Enrollment & Registration

Are You a New Student in the Chehalis School District?

Enrollment information for the 2025-2026 school year will be coming soon. Please do not attempt to enroll new students for the 2025-2026 school year until prompted to do so.

Planning to enroll your child in the Chehalis School District? Here are a few things you should know:

  • This is for any new students to Chehalis or students who have withdrawn and are returning.
  • If you already have a student in the Chehalis School District and need to enroll another student for grades 1-12, log in to Skyward Family Access and choose “New Student Online Enrollment”
  • For Kindergarten registration, see section below
  • You will need legal documentation verifying age (i.e. birth certificate, passport)
  • You will be asked to sign documentation for the Chehalis School District to request immunization records from the WA Immunization Information System. If your student received immunizations out of state, you will need to provide a medically verified immunization record.
  • Your child’s legal name (the name that appears on the birth certificate) will be used on all official school records.
  • You will be asked to provide Proof of Residency (a utility bill, cable bill, lease agreement, etc.).
  • The Chehalis School District does not offer open enrollment to Turning Point/Lewis County Alternative School. Students in that program are court-ordered to attend or referred by staff.
  • The Chehalis School District does not offer an online schooling option. If you are interested in your student attending an online school, please refer to this information from the Office of the Superintendent for Public Instruction about approved online programs.

Choice Transfer Requests

Choice transfers are for students who wish to attend Chehalis schools but who reside outside Chehalis School District boundaries. All choice transfer students need to complete a new application each year. The application is initiated at your resident school district.

The Chehalis School District will consider all applications based on the standards identified in Board Policy 3141.

Please Make Sure You Renew Your Information Through Skyward Family Access

If your family lives in the Chehalis School District boundaries and your student will be returning to Chehalis Schools next year, we ask that you complete the annual renewal of student information through Skyward Family Access. It is never too late to complete these forms. They take only a few minutes and are important so the district can serve you better:

  • Make sure your family contact information is up to date so we can reach you in an emergency. ParentSquare, our primary platform for communicating with families, also draws its contact information from Skyward, so if your contact information changes, you only need to change it on Skyward and the change will show up on both Skyward and ParentSquare
  • Make sure all listed emergency contacts are current
  • Update us on any changes to family status or needs
  • CLICK HERE to access Skyward Family Access through a web browser.
    Phone-users, be sure to use the “Open in Browser” feature in the Skyward App.
  • CLICK HERE for a tutorial on Annual Renewal Forms.
