Caldwell County Schools has implemented an online registration process for all students. This process has increased our efficiency and effectiveness in collecting the required data but does not prevent the need for a face-to-face meeting at your child's school.
Enrollment procedures and requirements may vary from district to district and state to state. Please carefully read the information below to make the enrollment process a smooth and successful experience.
Online registration applications can be completed on a smartphone, computer, or tablet. If you do not have access to technology, please contact your student’s school to set up an appointment for a face-to-face meeting to complete your registration. Online registration will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Once your online registration application is complete, you will receive an email confirmation stating that the application has been successfully submitted.
It is very important to enroll with the school zone where you live- please check this link for a school finder
