Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! It's time to get enrolled for another great year of learning and growth.

Returning and Pre-Enrolled Students 
Online enrollment opens July 20 and is for returning and pre-enrolled students. Visit the enrollment web page to begin.  From there, you will select the "Online Enrollment" button and be prompted to log in to your Skyward Family Access account*. Click "Online Enrollment Verification" to verify that your information is correct. If it is not, please enter the correct information.

All students (including returning students) are required to submit proof of residency that verifies they live within the district boundaries. For proof of residency, please submit a utility bill (water/gas/electric) via email or fax to your building administrative assistant or drop off during the in-person enrollment times. Families that do not have this must have approval from the building’s principal.

New to District Students
If you are entering Derby Public Schools for the first time, you will go to your new school to enroll in person. To find out the school your child is assigned to, please use the Address Locator tool. Non-resident students who are accepted will receive additional enrollment instructions. It is essential that new students bring the following items with them to enrollment:

• Birth Certificate: If a birth certificate is unavailable, schools will accept a hospital certificate of birth, a visa or passport, a certified transcript from another school district or a court order that shows the birth date and places the student with the Department for Children and Families. Students may enter Kindergarten if they are five years old on or before August 31, 2025. Students may enroll in First Grade if they will be six years old on or before August 31, 2026.
• Proof of Residency: Please bring a utility bill (water/gas/electric) that verifies you live within the district boundaries.
• Health Assessment: A current health assessment is strongly encouraged for all students. Consult your child’s healthcare provider to obtain and complete a health assessment. Return this information to the school nurse.
• Immunization Requirements: Official, valid immunization documentation is required by law. The official school exclusion day for non-compliance with immunizations is September 8, 2026.
