Enrolling New Students
To enroll a student new to Anchorage School District, all families must go to preenroll.asdk12.org and submit an online pre-enrollment application. Families can pre-enroll their students from the comfort of their home, at work, or even with a mobile device.
Students are considered new-to-district if they
- Have never been enrolled in the Anchorage school district before
- Are incoming kindergartners that did not attend an official Anchorage School District preschool program
Before submitting your pre-enrollment, make sure Eagle River Elementary is the school you are zoned for by putting your home address in our School Finder page. If you are not zoned for Eagle River Elementary, families may enter their student(s) into the lottery system, but seats are not guaranteed.
Requirements to Enroll
To enroll in the Anchorage School District for the upcoming school year, potential students must meet the following requirements and submit the following required documents:
- Kindergartners must be five years old before or by September 1st
- First grade students must be six years old before or by September 1st
- Proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or real estate contract)
- Immunization records
- Birth certificates for each student, copies are acceptable
For a complete list of necessary documents and requirements, check out ASD's New-to-District Pre-enrollment page.
After the front office processes your student's pre-enrollment application, we will reach out to you with the next step: finalizing registration on ParentConnect! Please make sure the contact information submitted in your application is the best way to reach you and that all of the required documents are uploaded. If there are missing documents or incorrect contact information, the office cannot process the application until rectified.

From the quick links, there will be a 26-27 Enrollment option to choose. Click this, and after following the prompts and filling out each page, your student will be enrolled for the next school year!
Transfers for Current ASD Students
Has your family recently moved and is now zoned for Eagle River Elementary, or have you moved out of our zone into another? Transferring schools within Anchorage School District is an easy process. Make sure to inform your student's original school of your intentions before contacting their new school.
Families that are changing from one ASD school to another must contact the new school and provide proof of address. (e.g., lease, mortgage, utility bill, etc. Bank statements, phone bills, etc. will not be accepted) After proof of address has been provided, the office staff will initiate the transfer process and inform families of when the student may start.
** Please note: Families staying in the Anchorage School District must still enroll students with their current school even if you plan on going to another school. After online registration is completed, contact your current school's front office to initiate the transfer to your new ASD school. **
Lottery Program Information
The ASD lottery is an online application system used to provide an equal opportunity for all students to attend schools outside a student's neighborhood and specialized programs like Eagle River Elementary's Open Optional program. Students who do not reside within our school's neighborhood boundary or who would like to attend our Open Optional program need to apply through the school lottery system. The lottery systems runs twice a year with dates varying slightly each year. The Spring lottery opens for applications at the beginning of February and closes mid-March. The Fall lottery opens mid-April and closes mid-July. After the lottery runs, notifications to families will be sent the week after closing, and after the results of the lottery are released, families have 2 school days (48 hours) to accept or decline their spot. If families do not accept their spot within 48 hours, their spot is automatically declined and their seat in the program forfeit.
If your child already attends Eagle River Elementary as a result of the lottery, there is no need to reapply each year; they may continue attending until they age out of our school or until they withdraw into another school/program.
