2026-27 NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION PROCESS - FOR ALL NEW PK-12TH GRADE STUDENTS:
As a reminder, we DO NOT accept students living outside of our district.

*** Registration for the upcoming school year will open on Monday, August 3. Feel free to read the information below to learn all about the registration process.

1. Complete the Request for New Student Registration & Re-Enrollment Form - (Available on Monday, August 3.)
The parent/guardian will provide some general information in the online Google form. 

2.  Once the form is submitted and processed by the Registrar, the parent/guardian will receive instructions, by email, for completing the New Student Registration Forms online and submitting the required documents. The required documents are:

• Proof of Residency - This document must have the parent/guardian's name who is completing the registration and the current address (within our school district). Accepted examples include a current (within 30 days) City of Strafford water bill, electric/utility bill, rental/lease agreement or mortgage statement. 

• Photo ID of Parent/Guardian - A copy of a drivers license, state ID or passport will be accepted.

• Immunization Records - These must be submitted unless they will be provided with the student’s previous school records. 

• Birth Certificate - This must be submitted unless it will be provided with the student’s previous school records.

3. Once the above steps are completed, the building office will process the online forms and send the Request for Records to the previous school (if needed). The process to receive records from a previous school can take some time, so the sooner a parent can complete this process, the better. Finally, the parent/guardian will receive a phone call from the building offices regarding completion of enrollment into our district.

• How do I know if I live in the school district?
  As a reminder, we do not enroll students who do not reside within our school district boundaries. You can click on the links provided here to view our District Boundary Map, the Greene County Assessor’s webpage or Webster County Assessor’s webpage to see what school district your residence is officially in.

• Can I email my documents to the Registrar without submitting any forms prior?
  No, we request that parents/guardians follow the steps outlined above before emailing any required forms to the Registrar.

• Do I need to bring any previous school records to the school for registration?
  No, you do not need to provide previous school records. There is a Request for Records Form in the online registration packet each parent/guardian will complete. The building offices will receive the records needed from the previous schools electronically. This is a requirement from district to district and protocol must be followed.

• What is an acceptable proof of residency document?
  Acceptable proof of residency documents include a rental/lease agreement, mortgage bill, closing documents, or a utility (water/electric/propane/trash) bill. The bill must be in the name of the parent/guardian who is registering the student AND all documents must be current (within 30 days).
