Pullman Public Schools

Students are initially assigned to an attendance area school based on where the student lives. Use our Find my School address lookup tool. 

If you would like to enroll your student(s) at a different school other than your assigned school, you may submit a request to transfer in-district. Please fill out a form for each student. In-District transfer requests will be accepted until June 30th of each year. An annual transfers meeting is held in early August in which it will be determined which students will be approved. If your request is turned in after the deadline of June 30th, your student may not be considered until after the first day of school. Please note that elementary school space in each grade is limited so your student is not guaranteed a space at that school.

To read more about In-District Transfers eligibility, the process, or to retrieve the form, please visit our In-District Transfers page.
*If your student is in a secondary grade, you will not need to use this tool, as we only have one junior high (grades 6-8) and one high school (grades 9-12).

Enrolling your student(s) is now easier than ever! All enrollment is available as an online application! Access to the enrolment portal depends on if you have a Skyward Family Access Account with Pullman Public Schools or not.

Do you already have a student enrolled with Pullman Public Schools?

Public Schools, you may enroll through Skyward using your Skyward login and password. Upon logging in, you should see "New Student Online Enrollment" listed at the top of the menu that is located on the left of the screen. Click on this and it will take you to the online enrollment portal and add your new student to your existing Skyward account.

Don't remember your login credentials? You can email info@psd267.org and you will be assisted in a timely manner.

Is this your first time enrolling a student with Pullman Public Schools?

Please go to the Enrollment page and fill out a new application. Once the application has been submitted, you will be given a temporary login and password. Once your application has been approved, you will receive your skyward credentials.

If you already have a student in our district, you will need to go to the enrollment main page and click "Enroll my student, I already have a Skyward account" or simply log in to your Skyward account.

This will direct you to Skyward Family Access where you will login. You will then see a New Student Online Enrollment tab that is located in the menu on the left of your screen.

I don't see the New Student Online Enrollment tab in my Skyward Account!

The online enrollment portal is assigned to guardian 1 in our system. If there are two parents in your family, the access may be assigned to parent 2. To fix this, either have the other parent log in and fill out the application OR you may email enrollment@psd267.org to have us switch you to the primary guardian.

Applications are processed as they are received by the school secretary. To approve an enrollment application, the application must be complete and include all required documents.

School secretaries leave for their summer break approximately the third week of June and return during the first week of August. During this time, applications will not be processed or approved. If you have documents to drop off during this time, you may still do so, but at the District Office at 240 SE Dexter Street. In addition, all questions you may have can be directed to the District Office or by emailing enrollment@psd267.org.

If you do not remember your login or password for Skyward Family Access, you can either reset your password yourself, or if that does not work, please email info@psd267.org or call the district office at 509-332-3581.

Skyward only allows one parent to be the primary guardian. If you are not listed as the primary guardian, then your student's second guardian has access to portal. 

If you would like to be the primary guardian in order to enroll your new student in Skyward, please email enrollment@psd267.org or call the district office at 509-332-3581

Documentation of student age (e.g., a religious, hospital, or physician's certificate showing date of birth; an entry in a family bible; an adoption record; an affidavit from a parent; a birth certificate or passport; previously verified school records; or any other documents permitted by law).

Medically verified Certificate of Immunization Status or Certificate of Immunization Exemption. Immunization records can be uploaded in the online enrollment application. Families may also mail in or drop off a physical copy of the records at the student's assigned school. Please remember that the schools will be closed for part of the summer. In that case, you may drop off documents at the District Office, located at 240 SE Dexter Street.

ASQ: Kindergarten students require an additional questionnaire that can be completed online through the Skyward New Student Online Enrollment Portal. If you would like a paper copy instead, please email enrollment@psd267.org or call the District Office at (509) 332-3581.

Note: Families Experiencing Homelessness: Students experiencing homelessness are not subject to provide required documents. Visit our McKinney-Vento Program webpage for more information.

If mailing in or dropping off any required documents, please submit the online enrollment application first.

If you need assistance completing the online registration form, please contact your child's school for assistance. You may also view the Guide for Completing the New Student Online Enrollment Application.

If you are dropping off enrollment paperwork during summer break when your child’s school may not be open, you may drop them off at the district office at 240 SE Dexter by either bringing them into the main office or dropping them into the blue locked drop box located out front.

Detailed information regarding immunizations can be found on the Immunization Requirements page. Immunizations can be uploaded in the online enrollment portal, or they may be emailed, faxed, or dropped off at your student's school. During the summer, you may drop off these documents at the District Office located at 240 SE Dexter Street during business hours. We also have a blue drop box that is locked that you may drop the documents in after hours.

I know my child is up-to-date on their immunizations but I cannot find the record!

We recommend contacting your provider who administered the immunizations. If this is not possible, please email our District Nurse, Michelle Hyatt, who may be able to check the immunizations database.

Pullman Public Schools have a legacy of welcoming students from neighboring districts to attend our schools, as space and programs can accommodate.

• Visit our Non-Residence Student Transfer page

If my student lives outside of Pullman School District boundaries, how do I apply for my student to attend a Pullman School District school?

Out-of-District Transfer (Choice) requests can be found on the Non-Residence Student Transfers section of our Enrollment page. You may submit this form by email, fax, or by dropping off at the District Office during business hours. You may also drop off the form in the blue drop box, located outside of the District Office after hours. Please note that Out-of-District Transfer requests received after June 30th of each year may not be considered until after the first day of school since they are dependent on factors such as space.
In early August of each year, a Transfer Request meeting will take place in which decisions will be made regarding each transfer. Enrollment in your school of choice is not guaranteed, as many factors play a role in each decision. These factors may include space, attendance, discipline, and disabilities or IEP's.

Out-of-District Transfer requests must be renewed annually.
 
If my student's request to enroll in Pullman School District is not approved, how can I appeal?

The appeals process is outlined in policy 3141:

Nonresident Students: "If the application is denied, the superintendent will notify the parent or guardian of the reason(s) for denial and the right to petition the board of directors, upon five school business day's prior notice, for review of the decision and to have a hearing before the board at its next regular meeting. Following the hearing by the board, a final decision will be promptly communicated to the parent in writing. The final decision of the district to deny the admission of a nonresident student may be appealed to the Superintendent of Public Instruction or his or her designee pursuant to the process detailed in RCW 28A.225.230."

Unfortunately, due to state funding, we cannot accept students who reside in states outside of Washington without charging an annual tuition fee.

If you would like your student to attend Pullman Public Schools, your student must first be approved by turning in an Out-of-District transfer form and then will be required to pay tuition. Tuition will be calculated based upon the amount of expenditure required to provide an educational program per student in the previous year of instruction.

View Policy 3141P Out of State Tuition for more details about tuition.

If your residence is in the Pullman School District attendance zone but you would like you student to attend another school district (such as an online academy (WAVA, WACA) or a nearby school district such as Colfax/Palouse/Colton, etc.) you will need to fill out an out-of-district transfer form to be released from our district. 

Once you have turned your out-of-district transfer form in, it will be sent to the superintendent to authorize the release of your student from Pullman School District. After it has been authorized, the form is entered into the OSPI Choice Transfer portal, in which it is digitally sent to the non-resident school requested. You will receive an automated email telling you the request has been made.

Once the non-resident school has received the request through the portal, it will be their decision on whether to approve or deny it. This will usually depend on space available in the grade requested, although may include other factors such as attendance and behavior. Once it has been accepted or denied, you will receive an automated email informing you of the decision. If the request is denied, it will list the reason for denial in the email.

Decisions from the non-resident school can take up to six weeks. Online k-12 academies such as Washington Connections Academy (WACA) and Washington Virtual Academy (WAVA) usually take longer to make a decision while school districts in neighboring districts usually make a decision with a couple of weeks.

The first three days after the start of the school year will be Kindergarten Conferences which will help your kindergarten student become oriented with their school and their teacher(s).

Your student will not attend all three days but rather your student's school will communicate with you on a date & time. Normally this information is mailed to you prior to the start of school.

Students will be placed at grade level according to confirmed age. Students may be placed above or below age established grade level if official school records from an accredited organization substantiates that request.
