Attendance boundaries and enrollment
SUSD groups its schools into learning communities. Cocopah is the middle school for the Chaparral Learning Community, which includes Chaparral High School and the elementary schools Cherokee, Cochise and Sequoya.

SUSD is also changing some school pathways. Under the district's approved Phase II plan, Copper Ridge and Laguna Prep will close after the 2026-27 school year. Some of the options the district published would move certain Laguna attendance areas into the Chaparral community with Cochise, Cocopah and Chaparral High. Check SUSD's Phase II pages for the final boundary decisions before you buy.
For 2027-28, SUSD regular enrollment and open enrollment both open on November 2, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. New families apply online, and current families use ParentVUE. You will need a certified birth certificate, current immunization records, proof of residency, a parent or guardian ID, an Arizona withdrawal form if the student was enrolled in another Arizona school, and any custody papers that apply. Open enrollment is processed as applications arrive and depends on grade-level and program capacity, with priority given first to SUSD residents.
