New Families

Are you a new family to Rockwood? Our Rockwood school teachers and staff are ready to welcome our new students and families to our neighborhood schools!

To enroll your students in Kindergarten through 12th Grade the Rockwood School District, you and your child must reside within the district boundaries. To find the school your child will attend, please review the boundary maps first. Then follow the steps below.

Looking for Preschool?

Not yet ready for Kindergarten? Rockwood Early Childhood has several Preschool options for our youngest learners and their families including Full-Day, Half-Day, and Mini-Preschool.

If your preschool child has qualified for an IEP, proceed to Step 1 to enroll in early childhood special education services. If you also want to add tuition-based programming, please complete the Rockwood Early Childhood Preschool Registration Form to enter the lottery.

Step 1

Gather this required information before you begin the enrollment process:

Parent/guardian legal name(s) and address(es)
Student(s) legal name
For transfer students, previous school contact information
Emergency contact information

Gather the documentation that is needed for the enrollment process:

Birth certificate issued by the Bureau of Vital Statistics
Medically documented immunization/health records
Proof of residency (please read more below)
IEP and evaluation, if the student is receiving Special Education services
For transfer students, an unofficial transcript or the most recent report card

Unless your student is exempt from the proof of residency requirement, one document from each List A and List B is required. Electronic documents are permissible if they are current and contain the information required for the district to verify proof of residence (date, name, address, applicable signatures, etc.).

List A

Deed
Sales contract signed by all parties, provided that the registrant supplements this with a copy of the closing statement within 60 days.
Mortgage statement dated within 30 days of the date of submission
Unexpired lease/rental agreement signed by the lessor and tenant and including the address, apartment number and date of rental

List B

A utility bill (water, gas, sewer, trash, or electricity) dated within 30 days of the date of submission for verification and including the name, service and mailing address. Trash bills will be deemed current if they are dated within the most recent billing quarter.
Real estate tax receipt dated within one year of the date of submission
Personal property tax receipt dated within one year of the date of submission
Unexpired occupancy permit listing all the occupants of the residence

The district has the right to request additional proof at any time or to employ other means to verify residency. Under Missouri law, misrepresenting residency is a criminal offense. If a family's residency status is found to be inaccurately represented or changes without notification to the district, the district may act to recover the cost of services provided.
