It is Registration and Open Enrollment Time!!
The registration window for the 25-26 school year is now open! Please forward this information to friends and neighbors that it might apply to!
Register for Kindergarten. If your student will be 5 years old by the October 1, 2025, you will want to complete the online registration form on the district website - https://www.svvsd.org/schools/enrollment/new-student-registration/. Please be sure you are completing the information for the 2025-2026 school year.
New open enrollers. If you want to join Blue Mountain but do not live in our attendance area, you'll begin by completing an open enrollment application - https://www.svvsd.org/schools/enrollment/open-enrollment/. Once that is approved, you will then complete the registration form.
5th grade families who are hoping to attend a middle school other than the one in their set attendance area. For example, if you are open enrolled to us, don't live in the Altona attendance area, and want to attend Altona, you will need to complete an open enrollment application for Altona - https://www.svvsd.org/schools/enrollment/open-enrollment/.
Preschool registration will begin on December 17th.
Please call the office and ask for Lori Myers if you have any questions!
