Samohi Student Enrollment Procedure and Requirements
We are currently enrolling new students for the current 2024-2025 school year ONLY.
NEW STUDENT enrollment for the 2025 - 2026 school year will begin May 1, 2025, and will continue through the start of the school year.
In order to enroll, you will need to make an appointment and bring all required documentation for residency verification and student information. Our goal is to have our new student leave the enrollment office with all things settled except the meeting with the advisor for a class schedule. The class schedule selection occurs based on advisor availability. In the summer recess, class selection will happen on the appropriate registration/ “Get You Stuff” day in mid-August.
Welcome Future Samohi Families,
We look forward to you and your student joining our community! Please find important information below as it relates to specific enrollment processes:
New Student Enrollment
In order to obtain enrollment documents, you must first prove residency within the Santa Monica High School’s boundaries.
- Please call 310-395-3204 to make an appointment with Ms. Mendoza, our enrollment specialist to start the residency verification process. Appointments are available from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 2:00 p.m.
- Our office will need to verify your address before proceeding with enrollment. Click here for examples of proof of residency.
NOTE: Electronic documentation will not be accepted. Official mail must be dated within the past 45 days. NO phone or internet bills will be accepted as proof of residency. - You will need to verify your child's birth date with a birth certificate.
- You will need to bring complete immunization records for all students. Up-to-date immunizations must be completed before your child may enter the classroom. Click here to see immunization requirements. You may contact our school nurse with questions about immunizations at samohihealthoffice@smmusd.org
- You will need to provide a copy of your student’s recent transcript, with exit grades (for mid-year enrollment). If the transcript is in a language other than English, a translated version must be presented in English for enrollment.
When everything is complete, your student will be assigned an advisor (incoming freshmen will have a temporary advisor until advisors are assigned in August). Ms. Mendoza, our enrollment specialist, will give you contact information for the advisor, and you will need to set up a meeting to select the appropriate courses/ schedule so that your student can graduate both college and career ready.
Please explore our website to learn about the exciting programs we have on campus. Again, we look forward to welcoming you to the Viking family!
Take care, stay healthy, and stay safe.
