AVUHSD NEW STUDENT ENROLLMENT FOR 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR

Welcome to the Antelope Valley Union High School District’s enrollment information page! We’re happy to have you joining us. Below you will find helpful information regarding enrolling your student with AVUHSD.

AVUHSD uses PowerSchool Enrollment as a one-stop, simple process for enrolling your student. Within PowerSchool Enrollment, you will be able to enter all necessary student and parent/guardian information, as well as upload digital copies of required documents. PowerSchool Enrollment is mobile-friendly, meaning if you don’t have access to a computer or scanner, you can complete the whole process on a smartphone or tablet by taking pictures of your documents and attaching them from your device’s photo album. No more standing in lines and bringing paper copies! The entire enrollment process can be completed from the comfort and safety of your home.

Because of a working relationship with local feeder school districts, most incoming 9th graders have already been pre-loaded into our student information system, but we still need a parent/guardian to complete the PowerSchool Enrollment process and upload required documents that are not shared with us by the feeder districts. Your student’s enrollment is not complete until the parent/guardian completes all PowerSchool Enrollment steps.

LOCAL INCOMING 9TH GRADE STUDENTS

If your student is an incoming 9th grader and currently attends a middle school in one of the local districts listed below, your enrollment steps will be mailed to you by the AVUHSD high school that your student is zoned to attend. Mailing addresses and zoning is based on residency information shared with us by your current school district. These letters will be mailed during the month of March. We will ask your current school to notify you when we send them out.

If your student currently attends a middle school that is NOT in a district listed below, please follow the steps for “New to Area Enrollment”.

Eastside Union School District
Hughes-Elizabeth Lakes Union 
Keppel Union School District
Lancaster School District

Palmdale School District
Westside Union School District
Wilsona School District
AVUHSD Prep Middle Schools

Please complete all steps listed in the mailed letter, regardless of a pending open enrollment application. Your student’s enrollment is not complete until the parent/guardian completes all PowerSchool Enrollment steps.

If you did not receive a mailed letter from your student’s future high school AND your student DOES currently attend a local middle school in a district listed above, please contact the School Counseling office at the links below. If you are unsure which high school your student is zoned for, use the School Locator on this page.

NEW TO AREA STUDENTS (OR 8TH GRADE STUDENTS NOT ATTENDING A LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOL)

a. Students who are as current as possible with their vaccines and not due for any doses will be enrolled.

b. Foster children, homeless youth, and children of currently active duty or reserved military families will be permitted to enroll.

c. Students with current IEPs will be permitted to enroll.

2. Children who are conditionally admitted (meaning they have not completed the vaccine series) are still required to present their written documentation of current vaccines or enroll in an alternative educational program (a non-classroom based instructional program, such as AVUHSD’s Independent Study or Virtual Academy online).

Please contact the Health Office where your student will be attending if you have further questions. Questions for Alternative schools may be addressed at any high school Health Office.
