All of the info can be found at www.pausd.org.

Registration packets are available online or you can pick one up at the district office.

The district will post dates for registration for the 2009-2010 school year. This year (for 2008-2009) if you had your registration packet in between January 8th and February 8th (they don't accept registrations before January), you were put into a Priority 1 group. This group has first priority placement at their neighborhood schools. On February 11, registrations are date and time stamped and students are given school assignments in the order that registrations were submitted.

If you move into the district mid-year just go over to the district office on Churchill and they can help you get your child enrolled for the current year. Be aware that you may not get into your neighborhood school depending on how full the schools are. This is especially true for the north end of town.
