Intent to Remain/Return
If you are open enrolled at a neighborhood school or attend a DCSD-Authorized Charter School, but would like to return to the neighborhood school associated with your address for the next school year (27/28), you must file an intent to return form by the first week of January with the Ponderosa Registrar.
If you missed this date, you must open enroll for a chance to return to your address assigned school, and enrollment is not guaranteed. Please note: If you are currently attending your
address-assigned neighborhood school, there is nothing you need to do at this time if you wish to remain.

If you are moving within the district but would like your student to remain at Ponderosa High School, you may do so by filing an "Intent to Remain" form, along with your new Proof of Residence with the Ponderosa Registrar.
