Enrollment Information
Enrollment for any student who will be new to the Savanna School District will need to be completed online. Please visit the school boundaries link on this website to determine your child's school of residence (home school) prior to beginning the steps below.
Step One: Complete the online pre-enrollment form
Kindergarten & Transitional Kindergarten Pre-Enrollment Form
Step Two: Office staff from your child’s home school will contact you to set up an office visit.
At this office visit, you will need to bring the following information (originals):
a) Proof of birth date: Proof must be provided before the child may be admitted. One of the following documents is acceptable: original birth certificate, recorder sworn transcript, baptismal certificate, physician statement of birth, passport showing age or other valid proof of birth.
b) Proof of Residence: One of the following documents, current and dated within the last 30 days is acceptable:
* Property Tax Payment Receipt
* Rental property contract, lease, or payment receipt
* Utility service (electric, gas, water) contract, statement, or payment receipts
* Voter Registration
* Pay Stub
* Correspondence from a government agency
* Notarized declaration of residency executed by the parent or legal guardian of a student
c) Immunization Records: Records must be originals, stamped by the doctor's office. The school will make a copy to keep on file, with originals returned to the parent. Parents/guardians must present proof that immunizations required by California law have been completed before registration can be finalized. Visit Immunizations for School for information on required immunizations and the process for a medical exemption.
d) Physical Exam Requirement for Kindergarten Students: All children need a health check-up before enrollment in kindergarten. California law requires children have a physical exam (health check-up) by first grade. Savanna School District requires the physical exam be completed before kindergarten entry and it will be one of the items requested as part of the enrollment process. The physical exam may be free to those who qualify through the CHDP (Child Health and Disability Prevention) program. For information call 1-800-564-8448. Parents/guardians who do not wish to obtain a physical examination for their child must sign a waiver. Click here to download a copy of the form. Click here for a copy of the waiver form
e) Oral Health Assessment for Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten Students
California law (Education Code Section 49452.8) requires that students entering the first year of public school have a dental check-up. Any dental examination completed up to 12 months before the start of transitional kindergarten or kindergarten (whichever is the first year of public school) will also meet this requirement. The Oral Health Assessment form should be turned into the school as soon as possible. Parents/guardians who do not wish to obtain the oral health exam for their child must sign the waiver that is available from our district nurse.

Frequently asked questions
How do I enroll my child in kindergarten or transitional kindergarten?
Our enrollment process is online; you may begin the process by completing the enrollment form at Kindergarten & Transitional Kindergarten Pre-Enrollment Form
Which Savanna School District school should my child attend?
Your home school is based on your residence address. If you are not sure which school is your home school, please click here for a map. If you need assistance, please contact the District Office at (714) 236-3800.
I want my child to attend a school other than our school of residence. How do I enroll?
Visit your school of residence to pick up an intra-district transfer request form. Enrollment priority is given first to children who live within the school's boundaries and then to siblings of students already enrolled. Thereafter, transfers are based on space availability. More information regarding intra-district transfers is available on the Student Transfer page.
We don’t live in Savanna School District, but I want my child to attend one of the District’s schools. How do I enroll?
Visit the school district in which you live and request an inter-district transfer to release your child. Submit the signed release as soon as possible to the school principal of the school you would like your child to attend. Enrollment of incoming transfer students is based on space availability. Decisions on incoming inter-district transfer requests will be provided by the site principal of the school you want your child to attend. While some requests may be approved within thirty days of the application, some applications may not be approved until after the first week of school in order to determine space availability in specific grade levels at sites. More information regarding inter-district transfers is available on the Student Transfer page.
