Important Registration Information for new Albany High School students (for the 2011-12 school year)

The first step in registering your student for Albany High is to go through the registration process at the District Office by following these steps:

 

1. Go to the Albany Unified School District office located at 1051 Monroe St., Albany, CA 94706.  There you will pick up registration forms. The office is staffed Monday through Friday from 8:30 until 12 noon and from 1:00-4:00 PM.  If you wish, you can download the enrollment forms from the school district website:  http://www.ausdk12.org/.  From the home page, click on the “Enrollment” tab on the right.  Then select “Enrollment Forms” (one of the links in the box).
2. After filling out all registration forms, go back to the school district website. At the same location on the website, read all information carefully, especially the section “Parent/Guardian must bring:” Also refer to the “Residency Verification” link.
3. When all your paperwork is gathered and complete, click on the link that reads: “Please click on the following link to make an appointment for K-12 Schools registration.”  Schedule your appointment time for meeting at the district office with all required forms and papers.

 

After completing your student’s enrollment through the district office, please note the following steps:

 

1.   Call or email Margarita Dominguez, the Counseling Office secretary at Albany High, (510-558-2650; mdominguez@ausdk12.org), to let her know that you have registered a new high school student for the 2011-12 school year. She will in the Counseling Office until June 30, 2011, and will return to work on August 1, 2011. Give her the name(s) of the student and the grade level for 2011-12.  You will also need to provide her with information related to placement tests in math, foreign language or English Language Development.

 

If your student has an IEP (a Special Education plan) from his/her last school, your enrollment package will be sent first to our Special Services office.  Special Services will check the IEP and let us know the services your student will receive at Albany High.  This process must take place before we can create a schedule for your son/daughter.  The phone number of the Special Services office is (510) 559-6536.
