Admissions

Updated 7mo ago

River Birch Elementary directs families to enroll through Avon Community School Corporation’s online “New Students” registration (and the school notes that questions about registering for the current school year can be handled by calling the River Birch office at 317-544-6800). (riverbirch.avon-schools.org) Key dates called out by the district include: the K-12 new-student registration window begins Monday, March 2, 2026 (and kindergarten registration for the class of 2039 opens March 2), while returning-student registration begins Monday, April 6, 2026 at 4:00 pm. (avon-schools.org) Only a parent/legal guardian may enroll; legal guardians must provide custody documentation, and for grades K-8 the building registrar verifies the submission and emails confirmation (or requests additional documents). (avon-schools.org) To apply, families complete the online form (about ~20 minutes if documents are ready) and upload required items such as a birth certificate, parent/guardian ID, two proofs of residency, prior school information, and emergency contacts; enrollment is not final until the residency portion is completed. (avon-schools.org) Eligibility/priority is residency-based (students attend the school tied to their home’s attendance boundary), and while proof-of-residency rules are detailed, the K-12 materials do not describe a waitlist or any additional priority categories beyond boundary/residency eligibility.
