Utilizing a centralized enrollment process the department enrolled approximately 2300 new students while withdrawing 325 students and moving 161 students within the district. The department printed and distributed over 25,000 reports cards, and processed over 4,100 attendance letters to be printed and mailed. PreK roundup was conducted in February and over 412 new students for 2021-22 PreK were processed and entered into the SIS.

Centralized Enrollment also verifies address of students. Some addresses require a residency affidavit which must be referred to a system resource officer, and the department works to verify addresses when mail is returned or when the school administration has a concern regarding the residence of a student. Our system registrars also work with the system social workers and school SPED coordinators to correctly identify students who may classify as homeless, federally connected, ESOL, SPED, EIP, etc.

Information Technology is responsible for nightly extracts from our Student Information System (SIS) to various instructional and information technology titles. The department oversees the integration of Clever as an instructional dashboard which provides Single Sign On (SSO) for all system purchased software titles, and allows rostering and student management for staff and teachers in a universal platform. Clever is the launching pad for 20+ instructional software applications. This department also administers nightly data extracts to several vendors who are not compatible with Clever (Renaissance, Café Enterprise, Apptegy, Checkmate, Classworks, Illuminate, etc.).

In addition to student information and ensuring that all aspects of FERPA are being met, the Centralized Enrollment department is responsible for the academic scheduling of all students K-8, generating and printing of report cards K-8, generating and sending attendance letters, verification on any returned attendance letters, and identification of all SLO courses. In addition, Centralized Enrollment generates all Honor Roll reports for newspaper publication, as well as establishes each school and course for a new school term within the SIS. Our system registrars work with teachers on entering grades into their gradebook within the SIS, as well as generating logins and working with parents to troubleshoot issues with parent portal. Parent portal gives parents access to student information regarding grades, attendance, and behavior for their child/children.

Centralized Enrollment oversees Pre-K registration and our system Kindergarten Registration each spring.
