Frequently Asked Registration Questions
Where is my attendance area or home school?
Please use the Infofinder web tool to locate your school of residence.
What if I do not have all of the required forms?
In order for Registration to be complete, you will need to provide the Two (2) Proofs of Residency, the Child’s original Birth Certificate and an updated Immunization Record(s).
Do you have “Open Enrollment”?
Yes! We are currently accepting Open Enrollment applications. Please apply here.
What do I do if my student will not be attending a Vail High School?
If your student will NOT be attending a Vail School District high school next year, please contact the Registrar so they can assist you in your transition. Before the last day of school, a withdrawal form will need to be signed by a parent. For your convenience, the Registrar will prepare a copy of the withdrawal form, final grades, etc for you to take to your new school, which will assist in the registration process.
What do I do for my incoming 6th Grade student?
5th grade students who attend Senita Valley or other Vail School in the RVMS Boundaries do not need to register as a new student. Your child’s file will be sent from their elementary school to RVMS over the summer. Once the new school year starts, you will need to update your child’s information online by logging into your PowerSchool account and selecting, “Returning Student Annual Registration”.
What do I do if I am moving INTO or WITHIN Rincon Vista Boundaries?
If you will be moving to a new neighborhood in the Rincon Vista Middle School boundaries, please complete a Residence Verification form so we can update the information in Powerschool. Please be aware that when a change of address is done, the Vail School District Policy requires two proofs of residency (eg., AZ driver’s license with new address and utility bill with new address). Please see the Registrar for a complete list of acceptable Proofs of Residency.
What do I do if I am moving OUT of Rincon Vista Boundaries?
If you will be moving out of district or to another Vail school, please contact the Registrar to withdraw your student prior to the last day of school.
What do I need to do to register my current RVMS student for the 2021/2022 School Year?
Please watch for an email in July regarding on-line returning student registration. This process replaces the paper packets. You will use the Powerschool Parent Portal to access your returning student’s registration. This will INCLUDE 6TH GRADERS transferring to us from an in-district elementary school. If you do not have a Powerschool Parent Account, please email us so we can set up your account. Thank you for your assistance to ensure a smooth transition for your child’s next school year. If you have any questions, please give us a call.
