West Perry School District

Welcome to the West Perry School District!
We’re happy to welcome you to the Mustang family. 

We use an online student registration program, which allows parents/guardians to input student information when or where it’s convenient to them. Parents/Guardians wishing to enroll or re-enroll a student must follow the instructions below.

Complete and submit the online enrollment form (link above) using PowerSchool Enrollment

• If you have used this system before, please log in using your existing account. If this is your first time using this system, you will need to create an account (please keep this information for possible future use).
• If you are unable to complete the online enrollment form all at once, you can save your work and log back in at a later time to continue where you stopped. An online enrollment form must be completed for each child you are enrolling. After the first child is added, you can click the link to ‘Add’ an additional child.
• In order for your child’s registration to be processed, you must submit the online enrollment form.
• Children registering for 1^st grade must turn six years old BEFORE September 1^st of the school year of enrollment.
• If you do not have access to internet or need assistance with completing the online enrollment form, please contact Mrs. Dodson (info below) to make an appointment at the District Office.

Submit all required documentation as part of the online enrollment process. If necessary, these documents can also be emailed to Mrs. Dodson.

Additional Information – 

• Who can enroll a child? Parents or court-appointed guardians living in the WPSD may register a child. Exceptions apply to homeless youth (according to the McKinney-Vento Act), migrant, and foster students. A student living with someone other than a parent will be registered in accordance with guidelines set by PA Public School Code section 24 P.S. 13-1302. Residents other than the parent or court-appointed guardian will be asked to complete and sign an affidavit stating that they and the student live in WPSD on a full-time basis.
• Who needs to submit an Affidavit of Multiple Occupancy? If you are registering a child with WPSD and you are residing with a District property owner, an Affidavit of Multiple Occupancy should be completed by the owner or lessee of the property. The parent/guardian of the child should complete an Application for Multiple Occupancy. If this situation applies to you, please reach out to Mrs. Dodson to get these forms.
• Do I need to submit the required documentation if my child is eligible for services under the McKinney-Vento Act? The documentation requirements listed above may not pertain if your child is eligible for services under the McKinney-Vento Act. More information about this is available on our webpage under Departments>Student Services>McKinney-Vento Homeless Act

PLEASE NOTE: While every effort is made to enroll students as soon as possible, please be advised that it may take up to five school days after we receive necessary documents to complete the registration process.
