Enrollment and Registration
Welcome to Cape!
We are excited that you have chosen to enroll your child in the Cape Henlopen School District. The registration process is designed to ensure that your child has a smooth transition into our schools and that you have a quick, stress-free registration experience!
New families to the Cape Henlopen School District, should utilize the registration link below on this page. If you are a parent/guardian with a student currently in the District, and you need to enroll a sibling, please do so via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, which can be accessed here. This includes incoming Kindergarten students for the 2025-26 school year (if they have a sibling in the District).
All Cape kindergarten classes are full day. Children turning five on or before August 31 of the current year, and whose parents live in the Cape Henlopen School District are eligible to register for kindergarten.
Regardless of whether you are registering through Infinite Campus or the link below, you will still submit all documents via a portal (including the final report card or unofficial transcript) and current proof of residency (current electric bill). Missing any of the required documents will delay the processing of registration. COMPLETED registrations (with all documents uploaded) are processed in the order they are received. Please be sure to have a valid physical for your child dated within the last two years. If you need a physical form, please let us know.
Again, the below step-by-step guide is strictly for families who are new to the District and do not have a current student in the Cape Henlopen School District.



Step 1: Find Your Child's Feeder School
The student's feeder school is the school that the District assigns the student to attend, based on the location of the home. Use the Delaware School Locator tool to locate your feeder District and the school(s) in which your child will attend.
Step 2: Prepare Your Documents
In order to register your child, the District will need supporting documents to complete the registration. We recommend gathering all of the appropriate documents before moving on to the next step.
Supporting documents needed for registration include:
- Student's Birth Certificate
- Proof of Residence
- One of the following documents with the parent/guardian name is required: A current electric bill, or an Executed Lease Agreement from a licensed Realtor or Property Management Company (see Board Policy #205 for details). The electric bill must show both the service and mailing address, which must match. If one of the above documents cannot be produced, the parent/guardian will need to contact Central Registration.
- Photo ID of Parent/Guardian
- Proof of Immunization - Delaware's Immunization Requirements can be found by clicking here.
- Physical (must have been within the last 2 years)
- TB Screening
- Current Immunizations
- Report Card
- Withdrawal Sheet
- Transcripts
- IEP (if applicable)
- 504 (if applicable)
- Custody Documentation (if applicable)
Step 3: Photo/Scan Required Documents
You may take a picture of the documents using a smartphone, or scan the copies of the supporting documents (listed above).
Here are two resources that can help with scanning documents from home:
- CamScanner App for iPhone and Android
- Step-by-Step Instructions to use the Notes App as a scanner (iPhone users)
Please make sure if using your phone or tablet that the documents are not cut off and/or blurry.
Once you have the photos or scans taken, you'll need to transfer the photos of the supporting documents to the computer you are going to use to complete the registration form. (Completing the registration form in Step 4 will be easier to do on a computer).
Step 4 - Register!
Click the appropriate link below to register your child (Grades KN-12). Families applying for School Choice should also use the links below.
Please Note: Effective last year, students must be registered in their home district in order for their choice application to be processed. Students who are applying for School Choice at a Charter or Private School, and who live in the Cape Henlopen School District, MUST be registered with CHSD before applying for choice at the charter or private school.
New Families to the District Only
Once you have submitted your child's registration via the online portal with all required documentation, the Central Registration Office will notify you by email of any missing documentation. Please respond to the email with missing documentation requested.
PLEASE NOTE: Registrations will be processed in the order they are received with all supporting documentation. A notice of completion email will be sent when the registration is complete.
Spanish Immersion information will be communicated at the building level and is not involved with the registration process.
