LVUSD Enrollment Steps When Moving To Agoura Hills

Moving to Old Agoura with school‑age kids? Getting enrollment right can feel like one more big task during a move. You want your child settled, your timing aligned with the school calendar, and zero surprises on the first day. This guide walks you through how to confirm your new address in Las Virgenes Unified School District (LVUSD), complete enrollment, and plan your move around key dates. Let’s dive in.

Check LVUSD coverage for your address

Before you start paperwork, confirm your new home’s school assignment. Old Agoura is within Agoura Hills and most addresses are served by LVUSD, but boundaries can vary block by block.

• Start with LVUSD’s official address lookup or attendance boundary map. It will show assigned elementary, middle, and high schools for a single address.
• If anything looks unclear, call LVUSD Enrollment or Student Services. Staff can confirm your school assignment and explain next steps.
• If your home is close to a district line or part of a new development, always verify with the district. Online maps can lag behind recent changes.

Tip: If your address falls outside LVUSD, ask about transfer options. Availability depends on district policy and capacity.

LVUSD enrollment steps

Follow this sequence to keep the process smooth and on time.

1. Start early

• Begin 4 to 8 weeks before your move, or at least 2 to 4 weeks before school starts.
• For TK or kindergarten, follow LVUSD’s posted registration windows, which typically open in spring for fall entry.

2. Confirm your school assignment

• Use the address lookup first, then speak with the district if needed.

3. Complete online registration

• Create an account in LVUSD’s new‑student enrollment portal.
• Enter parent and student details, emergency contacts, and prior school information.

4. Upload required documents

• You’ll provide proof of residency, proof of age, immunization records, and other items listed below.

5. Watch for district confirmation

• LVUSD may send an email with a student ID, next steps, or a request for an in‑person residency verification.

6. Coordinate class placement and logistics

• Middle and high schools may send schedules, counselor contacts, and orientation dates.
• Ask the school about bell schedules, pick‑up and drop‑off procedures, and supply lists.

7. Handle mid‑year or late moves

• Contact the assigned school office right away. Records requests and placement can add a few days.

Documents you will need

Having your paperwork ready shortens your timeline.

• Proof of residency. Examples include a current utility bill, lease or mortgage statement, or escrow papers. LVUSD may require two proofs or an affidavit in some cases.
• Proof of age. A birth certificate, passport, or other official document.
• Immunization record. California requires up‑to‑date vaccinations for school entry, including Tdap for 7th grade entry. Exemptions are limited and follow state rules.
• Previous school records. Transcripts or reports for grades beyond kindergarten, plus any discipline or attendance summaries if requested.
• Parent or guardian photo ID. Driver’s license or other government ID.
• Custody documents. Court orders, if applicable.
• IEP or 504 plan. Bring copies so services can continue without interruption.

Health and immunization basics

California law requires specific vaccinations to attend school. Common requirements include DTaP/Tdap, polio, MMR, Hepatitis B, and varicella, with Tdap required for 7th grade entry. For the latest list and exemption guidance, review the California Department of Public Health’s school immunization requirements at the state’s Shots for School website.

• Provide your child’s immunization record during enrollment.
• TK/kindergarten may include a confidential health form. Ask the school about any physical exam forms.
• If your child needs medication at school, request the district’s medication authorization process.

Plan your timing around the calendar

Your move will feel easier when it aligns with LVUSD’s academic calendar.

• First day of school. Check the district calendar for start dates, holidays, and minimum days.
• Orientations and schedule pick‑up. Middle and high schools often host events before the first day. Ask your assigned school for dates.
• TK and kindergarten windows. These typically open in spring. If you are moving in late summer, ask about late registration and campus availability.
• Bus routing cut‑offs. If you plan to use transportation, complete enrollment early so routes can be arranged.

Special programs to consider

• Transitional Kindergarten (TK). Eligibility is age‑based under California policy. LVUSD publishes specific cutoff dates and enrollment periods.
• Special education and Section 504. Bring IEP or 504 documents to help the district set services quickly.
• English Learner support. The district may screen for language proficiency during enrollment to offer the right support.
• Athletics. If you are transferring a high school athlete mid‑year, CIF and district policies can affect varsity eligibility. Ask the school’s athletic office.

Transportation and campus info

• Campus details. LVUSD lists each school’s address, phone number, and site page on the district website. Use the address lookup to see which schools serve your Old Agoura home.
• Bus eligibility. Transportation depends on distance and district policy. Ask about bus applications and deadlines once your enrollment is confirmed.
• School contacts. Keep the assigned school’s front office number handy for schedule pick‑up, supply lists, and orientation details.

Troubleshooting and exceptions

• Address outside LVUSD. Identify which district covers your home, then ask LVUSD about inter‑district or intra‑district transfer options and timelines. Placement depends on capacity.
• Limited proof of residency. If you are staying with relatives or in temporary housing, ask about a Residency Affidavit and acceptable supporting documents.
• Mid‑year transfer. Schools enroll students during the year, but records requests and placements can take a few days. Start as soon as you have an address.
• Capacity constraints. Some schools may have waitlists. The district will explain alternatives and next steps.
