Register Your Child Now, School Starts Aug. 7

The staff of the Douglas County School System would like to assist you in making new student enrollment efficient and easy. All Kindergarten students and those students new to the Douglas County School System must enroll at one of two Central Registration Centers. The primary center at Annex West is open year-round. A second registration center at Annex East is also now open for the convenience of parents. Register early to avoid last minute crowds. School starts August 7th and new students who have not registered through Central Registration will not be able to attend until they complete registration. Delays in registration will cause delays in student schedules once they arrive at their assigned school.

The primary, year-round registration center is located at 4841 Bill Arp Road (Highway 5) and the temporary registration center, open Monday, July 22 through Friday August 2, is located at 2300 Shoals School Road. Our staff would like to assist parents/guardians in making new student enrollment efficient and easy.

Parents/legal guardians must register at the Central Registration Center before a student is enrolled in their home school.
