General Student Registration Instructions

Overview

The district’s online pre-registration system enrolls a student in the current school year (July 1 through June 30). Registration consists of two steps:
  1. Online Pre-Registration: The parent/guardian uses a secure web portal to enter the student’s information, receive copies of any required registration forms and schedule a registration appointment with the central registration office.
  2. In-Person Registration Session: The parent/guardian visits the Central Registration Office in the district administration building to provide completed forms and copies of documents required to register the student.
Important Notice for All Enrollments

Due to budgetary concerns and class size considerations, your child(ren) may not necessarily attend your home school. Decisions regarding where your child(ren) will attend will be made as soon as possible and be based upon seat availability. Transportation to and from school will be provided at district expense.
