Please complete a registration packet at the school or download the packet in English or Español and complete it ahead of time.

Items need for enrollment:

  • Verification of your address - i.e. Power Bill, Rental or Purchase Agreement indicating residence is in the attendance zone.
     
  • Withdrawal form with grades from the previous school. If enrolling before the school year starts, please bring your final report card from the last school attended or a copy of your transcript.

How do you get a waiver?

If you don't live within Eagle Rock boundaries, read the Open Enrollment Policy and fill out a waiver request.  Waiver requests are accepted from April 1 through the second Wednesday in May. Final decisions will be announced in August. Please note that state law requires waivers to be renewed every year. 

ALL class changes must be made BEFORE the beginning of a trimester unless the change is initiated by the student’s team of teachers or administration.

Students should choose their classes thoughtfully and review their upcoming schedule as each trimester nears the end. If a student desires a class change before the beginning of a trimester, they must make an appointment with the counselor for their grade-level (Mrs. Andrews: 7th grade, Miss Priest: 8th grade). Appointments can be made in the counseling office.
