During the COVID-19 health emergency there have been many questions about the upcoming school year. Questions about registration for the upcoming school year are, understandably, among them. In an effort to assist parents during this time when many routines have become unknowns the Newton County School System is offering student pre-registration opportunities. Pre-registration will offer parents the ability to complete the student registration packet and gather the required accompanying documents prior to the face-to-face summer registration periods held at the schools. In-person summer registration dates will be published no later than July 10, 2020.
If you wish to take advantage of the pre-registration option you should first download and complete the New Student Registration Packet that can be accessed at the link to the page found below:
NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION PACKET
This page also provides the list of documents that are required for registration. The packet that you will find is available to print out and complete or to complete online and save to your device. (If you are registering multiple children, you will have to complete a registration packet for each child.) When you have completed the document and gathered the required documents you will be able to email the information to your school’s registration email. You can find the list of registration emails at the bottom of this page. Please note, your student’s information will be stored securely until the registration staff return to the schools to begin the school year. When the registration staff return to the schools someone will contact you to notify you of the status of your child’s enrollment.
If you are unsure of which school(s) serve your residence you can use the tool on the NCSS website by navigating to
https://www.newtoncountyschools.org/parents and selecting the “Bus Route/School Zone Locator” from the left-side menu.

Transferring within the county?
If your child is currently enrolled in the Newton County School System, but will transfer to another school within the district for the 2020-2021 school year, please complete and upload the registration packet, upload your new proof of residency, and email both to your school’s registrar indicating in your email that your child is transferring within our school system. Should you have questions or need assistance, please contact Student Services Director, Mr. Darren Berry, at
