How to Enroll a Student or Request a Transfer Through the Canby School District Website

Updated

Families can start both processes from the Canby School District home page at canby.k12.or.us: Online Enrollment is for registering a student, and Student Transfer Information is for requesting a transfer. Both appear in the site's Quick Links list. The site does not publish eligibility rules, deadlines, or required documents on the home page, so treat the linked pages as the authoritative source and confirm details there before submitting anything.

Before you start

The home page only names the two entry points, so the exact forms and document list live on the linked pages. Based on how district enrollment typically works, gather the following before you begin — then verify each item against the Online Enrollment page:

  • Student information: legal name, date of birth, current grade, and current school (for transfers).
  • Address and residency proof: most districts require proof that you live within the district; check whether Canby asks for a utility bill, lease, or similar document.
  • Contact details: parent/guardian email and phone, since confirmations usually go there.
  • Records: prior school name and contact, plus any health or immunization records the form requests.
  • For transfers: the reason for the request and the school you want your child to attend.

If any of these are unclear, the Student & Family Handbook linked on the home page is the reference for district policies and family expectations.

Enrolling a student

  1. Go to canby.k12.or.us.
  2. In the Quick Links section, select Online Enrollment.
  3. Complete the form with the student and household details it asks for.
  4. Submit and watch for a confirmation or follow-up from the district.

Expected result: a submitted enrollment record and a confirmation message or email. Common snag: if the form asks for a document you don't have yet, don't guess — contact the district office and ask what it accepts instead.

Requesting a transfer

  1. From the home page, open Student Transfer Information in Quick Links.
  2. Read the posted rules first — they should explain who is eligible, what the deadlines are, and how decisions are made.
  3. Submit the transfer request using whatever method the page specifies.
  4. Keep any confirmation you receive.

Expected result: a logged transfer request. Common snag: transfer approvals usually depend on space at the requested school, so a submitted request is not an approval — check the page for how and when you'll be notified.

Other links worth knowing

The home page Quick Links also include Integrated Programs, Student & Family Handbook, and Transcript Request. The handbook is the best place to check policy questions that come up during enrollment, and Transcript Request is the path for records rather than new registration.

If something doesn't work

The home page doesn't list office hours, phone numbers, or a help contact for enrollment problems. If a link fails or a form won't submit, look for a Contact or District Office page on the site, or reach the district through the contact details published there.
