New Student Registration

Who Can Enroll a Student

Per Florida Statute a student must be five years old on or before September 1 to begin kindergarten. Only the legal custodial parent/guardian may complete the enrollment process. When necessary, patrons (such as a step-parent or relative) may be established when the legal parent/guardian completes a notarized school patron form or by a court order.

Zoned School

See What's My School? to identify your zoned school by entering your street name only. For best results, do not include the street suffix such as Ave, St, Street, Blvd, Court, etc when searching.

See School Attendance Boundaries Interactive Maps to view attendance boundaries by school type.

Mandatory Documents

The following documents must be provided by the legal parent/guardian before school enrollment can be completed and before student attendance can begin.

How to enroll your student using the Student Enrollment Online Application

First, create a Parent Portal account using a valid personal email account as your Username. If you do not have an email account, you can create one for free at www.gmail.com. Your Parent Portal account will be used throughout your student’s academic career to provide a real-time view of your student’s attendance, assignments, grades, assessment scores, discipline, and important emails or announcements from the district, school and teachers. It also provides a convenient place to pay for student fees and complete yearly forms.

The steps below will ensure secured protected access to your student’s confidential information:

  1. Click Create Account.

Do I need to complete a paper Student Enrollment form?

Paper forms are no longer necessary. The online application is easy to access and complete using any device that has access to the internet including your mobile phone. If a device or internet connection is not available to you, visit your zoned school to use the kiosk at the Front Desk/Registrar area. If you need assistance with the completion of the application, a school registrar is available to assist you.

Due to the many resources available to you to help you complete the Parent Portal account setup and Student Enrollment online application, fillable pdf or paper forms are only available as a very last resort. If a paper Student Enrollment form is used, it can be obtained at your student’s zoned school or by downloading a copy below. Please bring the completed form and all mandatory documents referenced above to your zoned school.
