In anticipation of heavy demand for new student enrollment as the start of the 2025-26 school year approaches, the Clarke County School District will temporarily move from online registration to in-person registration at the District Office beginning next week. The school year begins Wednesday, August 6, and the district is focused on ensuring that every new student is enrolled and ready for the first day of class.
Starting Monday, July 28, and running through Tuesday, August 5, in-person registration will be held weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the District Office gymnasium, 595 Prince Ave., Athens. Signage will be posted in the parking lot directing families to the gym. The District Office will be closed and registration will not be available on Wednesday, July 30, due to a districtwide professional learning event.
Individual appointments will not be available during the special in-person enrollment period, and registrations will be completed on a first-come, first-served basis. To avoid lines, the district encourages families to complete the enrollment process online at www.clarke.k12.ga.us/registration. Families should complete the online enrollment by Friday, July 25, to ensure that the application is processed and approved in time for the start of school. However, if that is not possible or a family needs additional assistance, they should attend in-person registration.
Families who plan to enroll their student in person must bring the following documents and information to the District Office to complete the enrollment process. These documents are also required for online enrollment.
Two (2) proofs of residency, dated within 30 days of registration.
Parent/guardian ID or valid passport
Student's birth certificate or passport
Student's Social Security card
Georgia Immunization Form 3231
Custody document (if not the birth parent).
More information about each of these requirements is available at www.clarke.k12.ga.us/registration. Under Step 1 of the Online Registration Overview section, click on the dropdown tab labeled āClick here for a list of required documents you will need in order to complete the online application.ā
