You may also drop off enrollment packets at the District Office, located at 526 B Street. Incomplete packets with missing required documents will NOT be processed.

How do I know at which school to enroll my student?
Students are registered based on the neighborhood boundary school and space availability according to your Davis home address. Visit our School Locator to find your neighborhood boundary school.

DJUSD is experiencing crowded conditions at some school sites.
It is important that families are aware that there may not be space for new students at their neighborhood school. If a school or grade level enrollment exceeds capacity, we will enroll (overflow) your student to another site. Please note, DJUSD does not provide school buses, however, Unitrans services the City of Davis and is free to use for all DJUSD students.
