Welcome to the Bremerton School District! We invite you to review the information on this page and select the registration method that works best for you.
Please have the following required documents ready to upload prior to starting the application process:
- Proof of name: birth certificate, military ID, passport, state-issued ID or adoption decree.
- Address verification: the district will require students or their parents to provide proof of residency within the district, such as home utility bills (gas, electricity, water, phone), lease agreements, or military base housing assignment documents.
- Immunization record: Certificate of Immunization Status form signed by your healthcare provider, immunization records obtained from a hospital or clinic, or records printed from a state immunization database.
Additional documents such as an IEP or 504 plan, grades from a previous school, or an Open Enrollment application can be uploaded if applicable.
NOTE: If you are not able to upload the necessary documents, they can be submitted in-person to the school or District Office. The registration CAN be completed online without them; however, this information will need to be provided prior to enrollment.
If you have any questions regarding registration, please contact District Student Services.
