Registration Process for All Grade Levels

Registration will consist of five steps. You must complete steps 1-4, including the online pre-registration, and locate and complete all required documents prior to attending your in-person appointment (step 5), or the registrar will not be able to assist you at that time.

STEP 1:

Use the district’s  MySchool Locator to determine the school the student will attend based on the home address. Budgetary fluctuations, class size considerations or a student’s needs, could impact your child’s school of attendance. Note the school name and continue with Step 2.

STEP 2:

Complete the Online Pre-Registration. The last screen will require you to schedule an in-person registration session with the central registration office. During this in-person session, the Registrar will review the required documents and proofs of residency.

IMPORTANT: Write down the username and password when creating your parent/guardian account.

STEP 3:

Download, print and complete the Residency Affidavits and Health Requirement Forms Packet and bring the completed packet with you to your scheduled in-person registration session. If you do not have access to a printer, copies of the Residency Affidavits and Health Requirement Forms Packet can be picked up at the central registration office.
