Central Registration

Student Enrollment (Kindergarten - Grade 12)

All new students (Kindergarten through 12th grade) and those transferring within our district will need to visit our Central Registration office to enroll your child in school. Our goal in having one location for student enrollment is to improve customer service by expediting the process, ensuring consistency across all 39 schools, and making it more convenient for those with children in more than one school. It is a requirement that the parent go to Central Registration in order to complete the registration process, even if you have completed the online application.

Please do not use this link for current students of Houston County, change of address or for the 2022-23 upcoming year. Click the link above to make an appointment for new Child Find through 12th graders that have moved into Houston County for the 2021-22 school year. We will open up the 2022-2023 school year for 1st through 12th grade appointments the last week of May.

Appointments open one week at a time every Thursday by 4:00 p.m. We will open them more frequently during peak registration times.

Parents of new or returning students must complete the online application by clicking on the link above prior to the scheduled appointment. Select 2021-2022 to complete an application for your student to begin in the fall for the 2021-2022 school year. For Pre-K, select 2022-23 for your application.

If you do not have access to the online registration, please arrive for your appointment at least 20 minutes early to complete your application at the Central Registration office. The more students you have to register, the longer the application will take to complete.
