Welcome to the Ripon Area School District!

Welcome to the Ripon Area School District! We are excited that you have chosen to educate your child(ren) in the Ripon Area School District (RASD).

NEW To Town? District Resident Enrollment Process for the Current School Year

District Resident Enrollment for new students must be completed online.  When new families move into the Ripon Area School District, we ask that you enroll your child(ren) as soon as possible.   If you do not have access to a computer, one is available at any school building or at the District Administration Office (1120 Metomen Street).

Once the online enrollment application is complete, a staff member will process the application.  Once processed, the school secretary will contact you with scheduling information.  For high school students, it is recommended to contact the school office to set up an appointment to effectively plan your child's schedule. Please plan on two school days before your child(ren) can start to allow for the teacher(s) to prepare the classroom.

Thank you for choosing the Ripon Area School District, we look forward to working with you and your child(ren).
