Welcome to the Evergreen School District!
Students residing in the Evergreen School District (ESD) are assigned an elementary and a middle school based on their home address.
Enrollment at the school of residence is on a first come, first served basis. Every attempt will be made to place new students at their school of residence. However, the district cannot guarantee such placement and reserves the right to overflow students to other schools within ESD as necessary when a grade-level enrollment capacity is reached. Any student overflowed to a school other than their school of residence will be provided transportation from their school of residence and back. Overflowed students will return to their school of residence the following school year.
Registration Process
Designated home schools are accessible through the
School Locator on the eesd.org website.
Kindergarten registrations for the following school year begin on March 1; if the first day of March falls on a weekend, the first day of registration will be the following Monday.
Schools post their registration dates and times via weekly newsletters, bulletin boards, signs, etc. Verification of registration dates and times can also be obtained by calling the school office.
Registration packets are NOT available at the District Office. Registration packets can be picked up at school sites and will be processed at the designated home school.
Contact your home school with specific registration questions.

School Choice Transfer Request
The parent/guardian may request that a child attends a school other than their home school and within ESD through a School Choice Transfer Request. Information regarding the program is located on the website in the School Choice section.
Some highlights of the School Choice Transfer Request process include:
Child must be registered at their designated home school.
Transfer requests are approved based on a lottery and on space availability for School Choice Transfer Requests at the requested school.
Parent/guardian is responsible for the transportation of students approved for a School Choice Transfer Request.
Approval is for a specific school.
Students who are not approved for a School Choice Transfer Request will attend their home school.
Interdistrict Transfer Request
Children residing outside ESD may request enrollment at a school within ESD by first starting the Interdistrict Transfer process at their home school district. Approval must be obtained from the home school district as well as from ESD prior to enrolling at an ESD school. ESD approvals of Interdistrict Transfer Requests are based on space availability for Interdistrict Transfer Requests and require an annual renewal.
