REMINDER: New Student Enrollment for 2025-26 is Open!
If you or someone you know has a new student to enroll in grades K-12 in CCSD for next school year — whether they are entering kindergarten and did not attend pre-K in the district or is moving to Athens-Clarke County from elsewhere — enrollment is open and running throughout the summer!
Registration is an online process and can be done entirely from home. In-person appointments for assistance are available at the District Office during office business hours. CLICK HERE for more information on the registration process and a list of everything you will need to get your student enrolled and have them first-day ready on August 6!
Have you moved or are you moving this summer to another school zone?
Please make sure you update your address with the district as soon as possible. A street-by-street index of our school zones can be found HERE. For more information and requirements on updating your address, go to www.clarke.k12.ga.us/registration. If you plan to unenroll your student, you will need to contact their most recent school directly.
Did you apply for a School Choice transfer?
The district will notify families that applied during the School Choice application period (April 1 through May 9) by June 9 via email whether their application to transfer schools has been approved. If your transfer request is approved, you will have until July 22 to accept the transfer.

Summer Meals Available Throughout June
This summer, the CCSD School Nutrition program will provide meals to students and our community at select schools and community locations during the month of June.
Students participating in summer enrichment activities hosted at school sites will have access to free breakfast and lunch while at school, and the district has also partnered with several camps in the community to provide free lunch to children. In addition, select school sites will be open to the public for lunch during summer enrichment program operations, and weekend meal bundles will be available for pick up at J.J. Harris Elementary School on a first-come, first-serve basis on Thursday, June 5, Thursday, June 12, and Wednesday, June 18.

Services offered at the centers include:
wellness checks
urgent care/sick visits
immunizations
sports physicals (all sports)
counseling services
dental services (currently only at the Hilsman Health Center).
Other reminders:
All CCSD students are required to be up to date with immunizations before Aug. 6, 2025, in order to start next school year on time. Please check on your child's immunization status with your school's nurse or primary care doctor and click here for more information about required immunizations.

All students can go to their local Athens-Clarke County Library branch and check out five physical items at a time for free using their six-digit CCSD student number while also utilizing the library system's many online resources.
