2.Parent/Guardian must provide the following for their enrolling student:

    • An official birth certificate

    • If you have another student already attending in Canyons School District, choose the “New Student Enrollment” option. This will link your new kindergarten student with your existing Skyward family access account.
    • If you are new to our district, click on the “Temporary account for new student enrollment” option and fill out the required information. 

PROCESSING ENROLLMENT:

Once you have submitted your enrollment applications, with birth certificate, immunizations, and proof of residency attached, the application is sent over to the school office staff to be processed. If documents are missing, it will delay it getting processed until they have been received.

Processing of kindergarten applications begins in January of the enrolling school year.
