Back-to-School Registration & Enrollment Process Requirements

EMUHSD utilizes the online Synergy Registration & Enrollment systems to streamline documentation collection for both new and returning students. The system is faster, offers more convenient access, and provides our families with social distancing considerations. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we are constantly enhancing our systems to provide additional functionality for our families, all while keeping our students & staff safe throughout the pandemic. Our online system features many streamlined processes, but the most significant process enhancements provide the ability to:

• Conduct the entire enrollment & existing student data verification in one easy to use online form
• Multi-language supports for non-English speaking families
• Upload all necessary/supporting documents quickly
• Receive a copy of completed enrollment applications along with all district/school policies electronically directly to your email

Important: During the online registration process, we will ask for existing system data to be validated. Please review the provided information and feel free to add, update, or remove any incorrect data. You will need to agree to the district policies, fill out the optional income verification which is used for amazing free programs for our students, and finally, you'll be asked to upload any required supporting documents if we do not have them on file (e.g. if your home address has changed or if we do not have immunization records on file). This process typically takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. Once you have completed the updates, the information will then be sent to the school office for review. If you need assistance or are unable to access this information online, please contact the school office. 

The registration system is broken up into multiple sections:

• Introduction
• Parent Guardian Information
• Emergency Contacts
• Student Demographics (all of your students in this area) 
• Health Information
• Previous School Information (not required for returning students)
• Income Verification for Free Meals
• Authorizations & Policies
