For Families New to the Boise School District

If you do not have a student currently enrolled in the district, follow these steps:

Use our Online Registration System to submit your child's information.

Enroll your child in their neighborhood school or, if approved for Open Enrollment, the chosen school.
Provide the required documents (listed under “Verification Requirements” below).

To confirm your child’s assigned school based on your home address, contact the Boundaries and Transportation Office:

Phone: (208) 854-4167
Email: transportation@boiseschools.org
Hours: Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

You may also view the School Attendance Zones map online for general reference, but please contact the office for official confirmation.

School placement is based on the legal residence of the student’s parent or guardian. If a family moves to a new attendance area, the student is expected to transfer to the appropriate school unless an Open Enrollment request is approved.

The online maps are intended as a general guide only and should not be used for real estate or official enrollment decisions. For an official determination, please contact the Boundaries and Transportation Office.

Attendance areas are geographic zones that assign specific addresses to specific schools. These zones support the neighborhood school model. Students attend their designated neighborhood school unless approved through Open Enrollment.

No. Mailing addresses and school district boundaries do not always match. Contact the Boundaries and Transportation Office to confirm which district serves your address.

City boundaries and school district boundaries are separate. Living within Boise city limits does not automatically place you in the school district. Please verify your address with the Boundaries and Transportation Office.

You may register during normal school office hours:

• Elementary: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
• Junior & Senior High: 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Registration for the upcoming year typically begins about two weeks before school starts in the fall. Contact your school for exact dates.

• Certified birth certificate
• Current immunization record

Your school office can provide a complete list and assist with record transfers.
