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 38 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.

Central Registration is open for appointments only for the month of June. We are conducting appointments in person, by email, or phone through our online registration starting June 1st. You will be asked to remain in your vehicle when you arrive for your appointment. Please call 478-741-3610 and enter the extension number you are given in your email to let your registrar know you are here for your appointment. They will come out and collect your documents and process your paperwork. Once that is finished, they will escort you inside to sign the forms and your student will then be ready for the 2020-21 school year.

Parents of new or returning students to Houston County Schools will need to complete the online application by clicking on the cloud link above before the scheduled appointment at Central Registration. You can complete this step before you make an appointment. You will be able to upload your documents into the online application as well. You do not have to do this to complete the online application but you will need to do it if you are not planning to come to our office in person.

If you do not have access to the online registration, please arrive 30 minutes prior to your appointment, call 478-741-3610 and let someone know you need to use our computers to register. The more students you have to register, the longer the application will take to complete.

**Please note this cannot be completed using a cell phone or tablet**
