Register Your Child

How to enroll your child at Floyd Light Middle School

David Douglas School District uses Online Registration for enrolling new students into the district. Online Registration is available in English, Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, and Simplified Chinese. Online Registration is a much more efficient and more accurate method than filling out lengthy paper forms.  Parents can use either their home computer or a computer at one of our schools to complete Online Registration.  Multiple students in one household can be enrolled with one Online Registration, rather than filling out multiple repetitive paper forms. You must live within the David Douglas School District boundary to use Online Registration.

You will need access to a laptop or desktop computer to register online. There are laptops available in each school office for your use if needed. If you need help with the process please feel free to contact Kendra Simmons, our school registrar at 503-256-6500 ext. 4552. She is more than happy to answer registration questions and/or make an appointment for you to come in and walk you through the process one-on-one. We look forward to meeting you!
