Dear CUSD Families,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We look forward to welcoming students back to campus on August 25, 2026.

In the meantime, Online Residency Verification is now open. Please read the following information regarding the 2026–2027 registration process or visit the CUSD website for additional details. School sites may also send site-specific registration information.

All new and returning families are required to complete the online Annual Registration and Residency Verification process before student class assignments or schedules will be released. Please log in to your CUSD Parent Portal account to complete Data Confirmation between July 28 and August 8, 2026.


For Residency Verification & Data Confirmation: 

Required: Provide Proof of Residency - You will be required to provide two documents (one from each category below) to verify your residency. Evidence of residency may be established by documentation showing the name and address of the parent/guardian within the district, including, but not limited to, any of the following: (Education Code 48204.1). Mailing and service/residence address must match. P.O. Boxes will not be accepted.


Category One Families are welcome to redact financial or personal information:

  • Current Mortgage Statement or payment receipts

  • Property tax payment receipt

  • Escrow Papers - closing statement

  • Rental property contract, lease, or payment receipts

    • Current rental/lease agreement with management/landlord contact information and signatures of landlord and tenant/parent. If the lease has expired and is now month-to-month, an original letter on company letterhead from management/landlord indicating parents/guardians are current residents is required. 


Category Two (must be dated within the last 30 days):

  • Utility service contract, statements, or payment receipts- 

    • SDG&E, City of Carlsbad Water, Internet

    • Full page utility and service with mailing address

  • Pay stub - not accepted if self-employed

  • Voter registration 

  • Correspondence from a government agency

*If a family is unable to provide a document from Category 1, two utility bills from Category 2 may be submitted. Please contact your school site with any questions.


Address Change: If you have moved, your address must be updated by a school official within 10 business days, and you will be required to provide two forms of residency verification. 


Shared Housing: If a parent/guardian and child(ren) are living with someone in a residence other than their own (shared housing), you must contact the school and make an appointment to provide proof-of-residency documents and sign the Shared Housing Form with the primary resident present. Both the parent/guardian and the homeowner/primary renter must each provide two proofs of residency as described above. 


Watch for information from your child’s school regarding directions for site-specific registration days.
