Enrollment FAQs

The North Kitsap School District (NKSD) has implemented an Online Enrollment procedure for new students. If you're a family with a child already attending school in NKSD and wish to enroll another, please log into Skyward Family Access and select the 'New Student Enrollment' option to initiate the process.

For families new to NKSD or those returning after a break, you can start the enrollment process by creating a new Skyward Family Access account at this link: 

The Online Enrollment process is estimated to take around 20 minutes. However, you have the flexibility to save your progress and continue at your convenience, meaning you don't need to finish it all in one go.

If you are a returning family to NKSD and encounter a message stating that your email address cannot be used, it's likely due to your email still being associated with your previous account in our system. In such cases, please contact our Student Records office at 360-396-3588 to disassociate your email from your previous account or utilize an alternate email address.

Enrollment for the new school year usually begins in the spring. However, if you're moving into the district during the school year, you can enroll your child at that time.

You can check the status by logging back into the enrollment portal with your account credentials. If you encounter any issues, please contact our Student Information department.

If you have more than one child to enroll, you'll need to go through the Online Enrollment process for each child individually.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your home school; contact information is listed on the right side of this webpage. Alternatively, you can contact the Student Records office at (360) 396-3098 or email at districtrecords@nkschools.org.

The Online Enrollment system for new students assigns students to the grade that corresponds with their birth date. For instance, an incoming Kindergarten student would be assigned to grade P4. You don't need to adjust the grade level manually. When you proceed to enroll your student for the upcoming school year, the system will automatically adjust the 'Expected Grade Level' to the appropriate level for that year. So, for an incoming Kindergartner, the system will update the Expected Grade Level to K1.

Every new student is expected to enroll in their designated home school. To confirm the school your child will be attending, you could either visit our Attendance Boundaries page or get in touch with our Transportation Department at (360) 396-3099. By providing them with your home address, they will assist in determining your child's assigned school.

If you're a family with a student already enrolled in the North Kitsap School District and are accessing the system via Family Access, your family details will be automatically populated in the New Student Online Enrollment form. If there are inaccuracies or updates needed for this existing information, modifications can only be made by the registrar at your older student's school. Therefore, please reach out to the school where your student is currently enrolled to make the necessary corrections. Any changes made will automatically reflect across records for all your children.

Please allow up to 2–3 weeks for the school registrar to process your next year application. You will receive an email when your application is approved.
