Enrollment

Welcome to the Estacada School District 

We are grateful you’ve chosen to be part of our community.

In Estacada, we are committed to excellence and continuous improvement in everything we do. We take pride in providing a high level of service to our students and families, knowing that strong relationships are at the heart of a successful school experience. Our district is both innovative and grounded in tradition. We work to create forward-thinking opportunities for students while honoring the values and community connections that make Estacada special.

As a district, we are large enough to offer a range of academic and extracurricular programs, yet small enough to know each student by name, by story, and by need. Your child will be seen, supported, and challenged to grow.

If you have any questions or need support at any point during the enrollment process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school’s front office. Providing responsive, helpful, and welcoming customer service is a priority for our team, and we are here to ensure your experience is smooth and positive from the very beginning.

We look forward to partnering with you and ensuring your child has an exceptional experience in Estacada.

Welcome to the Ranger family!

Dr. Ryan Carpenter, Superintendent

 

Before you start the registration process, please collect the documents listed below. You will need them to complete your student's registration.

Proof of Residency

Parent or guardian must provide at least one (1) piece of documentation indicating the place of residency. Some document choices are mortgage statements, lease agreements, utility statements, and insurance statements. This document can be uploaded at the time of registration or can be hand delivered to the school office. All proofs submitted to demonstrate residency must show an address within Estacada School District boundaries. The document must be current and contain the student's parent/guardian's name and address.

Immunization Records

All students entering Estacada School District are required by law to be immunized prior to the start of classes. Proof of immunizations or signed waiver is required at the time of enrollment and must include the name of the person, the birth date, the type of vaccine administered, and the month, day and year of each immunization. If your student has a primary care provider, schedule immunizations with them. If your student doesn’t have health insurance or a regular provider, affordable options are available through Clackamas County Health Centers. Call the Health Centers at 503-655-8471 to schedule an appointment. More info can be found on the Clackamas County Public Health website. 

Birth Certificate

This certificate is used to verify the correct legal name and birth date. In compliance with federal, state, and district guidelines, all students are enrolled using the legal name on the student's birth certificate UNLESS there has been a court-ordered name change and a photocopy of the name change has been provided at enrollment. (You have 30 days to provide a certified copy of the birth certificate or other reliable proof of identity with an affidavit explaining why you can't provide a birth certificate is acceptable.) ORS.339.115. Birth Certificates can be uploaded at the time of registration or hand delivered to the school office.

Legal guardianship or custody papers

Legal guardianship or custody papers are necessary, if applicable to this student based on the following scenarios:

•   If an adoption has taken place, it is reflected with an amended birth certificate, and student lives with adoptive parents as listed on the amended birth certificate, that is sufficient.

•   If student lives with one custodial parent as the result of a divorce.

If the student lives with anyone else, i.e. grandparents, aunt, uncle, sibling, friends or other relatives. We must have a photocopy of the court papers granting guardianship within 30 days of enrollment. Court papers granting guardianship can be uploaded at the time of registration or hand delivered to the school office.
