Kindergarten Registration for the 2023-2024 school year is open. Children 5 years old on or before August 31, 2023, are eligible to register for kindergarten. Early registration facilitates a smooth transition into kindergarten. We encourage families to take advantage of the opportunity to register their child(ren) during Spring Registration.

Follow this link to create your enrollment account and submit a "New Student Enrollment" application. Complete your child’s registration online by visiting the CCS Student Enrollment page and following the instructions. 

You will need the following information and documents to complete your registration:

1. Photo ID of Parent/Legal Guardian
2. Child's Birth Certificate with Parent name(s)
3. Child's Immunization Record
4. Proof of Domicile (2 required, see below)
   • Source 1:  Deed, current lease, closing, settlement statement or property tax statement showing the property is owned or rented by you and is within the school's boundaries
   • Source 2: Current utility bill with the correct address, recent pay stub, Medicaid card, or motor vehicle registration.
      
5. Kindergarten Health Assessment and Immunizations: This is required by North Carolina Statute. Students who do not have this completed after 30 days following the start of school will not be allowed to attend until the requirements are met. All schools and local physicians are aware of the requirements and have the proper forms that are needed for documentation. Parents can also print the NC Assessment Transmittal Form from their Scribbles account.

If you need help with completing the Enrollment Application or if you have questions about the required documents, please contact the school that serves your address.
