PLEASE NOTE: This will only be sent with the acceptance notices.

NOTE: This Aeries system is a registration system, it is not the Aeries Parent Portal for any children you might have in the Windsor District already. Your password might be different or you might need to create an account if you haven't registered a student in WUSD within the past 4 years.

Windsor Residents that do not get accepted will be able to enroll in Mattie Washburn. 

STEP 4: Paperwork

After completing documentation in Aeries (yes it will ask to upload documents) but we need physical copies for our files. 

Drop off your paperwork.
You may bring it to our Attendance Window. Our address is 9491 Starr Road. If you need assistance with making copies of your paperwork, please bring origials to the attendance window and we can make you a copy.

  2. Proof of age - Children must turn 4 on or before September 1, 2025.
    A copy of a certified birth certificate.

  • If the student is residing in the home of a caregiving adult within district boundaries, an affidavit executed by the caregiving adult in accordance with Family Code 6552

 

*DETERMINING OUR CLASSES

To determine enrollment priority for new students, each application is first sorted based on the language balance needed for the instructional model. School administrators will determine the appropriate linguistic group for each student application.

Within each of these groups, one point is given to student applicants for each of the following:

  • Child of CCLA and/or WUSD District staff members

  • Sibling of current CCLA student(s) [Bothers & Sisters ONLY]

  • Windsor Unified School District attendance area residents

  • Attending the in person information meeting

  • Filling out a questionnaire 

Applications are ranked based on the number of points. Applications with more points assigned are placed into classes first. Thus, applications with four points would be placed followed by applications with three points and then applications with two points, etc.
