Student Registration FAQ
Barrow County School students will not need to be registered if they are staying in the same BCSS zone.
No. If your child was selected in the lottery last year, and has a current enrollment at a Barrow County School in a Pre-K class, you do not need to register for Kindergarten. If your child is attending a preschool, such as Sikes, or other childcare facility, then yes, you do need to register for Kindergarten.
No, you don’t need to register again, however, we may need additional documents for your child. If so, you will be notified of which document(s) is/are needed, along with a deadline to provide. Examples: an up to date Georgia immunization form, completed 3300 form for Hearing/Vision/Dental/Nutrition screening.
What if I moved within Barrow County and need to transfer schools?
For students currently enrolled in BCSS who've moved within the county and need to transfer to a different Barrow County school, please fill out the forms linked below and follow the steps to upload current proof of residency and photo ID.
Once completed, you will receive an email from: alerts@scriptapp.com.
Yes. If you don’t have the 3300 form, which is the hearing/vision/dental/nutrition screening form, you can still enroll your child for school. If this is, or will be, the first time your child is attending a public school in Georgia, we can give you a provisional enrollment for the missing form and you will be given a deadline to turn it in. If you are registering a Kindergarten or Pre-K student for fall enrollment, please know that the screenings must have been completed within one year of the child starting a Georgia school for the first time. Your doctor can conduct ALL 4 screenings, including the dental section.
PLEASE BE SURE THE DOCTOR SIGNS, DATES, AND STAMPS THE FORM.
You can take your child’s out of state immunizations to any Georgia health department, or your Georgia physician to have them transferred to the GA 3231 form.
It depends on the situation:
- Does the person you live with OWN the home? If so, then you can download the Multi-Family Form from our Pre-registration site. The form needs to be completed by the person that owns the home, and they must also provide a current UTILITY bill in their name. You can then upload both forms during pre-registration.
- Does the person you live with RENT? If so, then you will need to download the Rental Certificate. The form needs to be completed by the landlord. You can then upload the form during pre-registration. The landlord doesn’t need to provide a utility bill with this form.
Some banks offer free notarization if you have an account. If you can't find anyone to notarize your form, you can check with the school registrar or the central office. Please remember, if your form requires signatures from more than one person, both have to be present and provide identification prior to signing.
No. Your child will not have an enrollment until all of the documents have been uploaded. Please be sure to check our website for required documentation. It’s very important to upload all of the documents prior to scheduling your review. Failure to do so may cause a delay in enrolling and the need for you to reschedule.
If you have guardianship through the court, you will need to upload those documents. If this is a DFACS/Foster placement, we will need the placement letter. If none of those apply, you will need to complete our KINSHIP CAREGIVER FORM. ALL sections of this form must be completed and the form signed and notarized. This form is only valid for one year and you will need to provide a new kinship form each year the child is in your care. We’ll contact you when it’s time to complete a new one.
If you have multiple children, we’ll start to review your entry at the earliest review time you scheduled. You will be contacted AFTER the last review with confirmation of enrollment when all the enrollments are processed.
Please log back into your registration entry, navigate to the scheduling page and select a new date/time for us to review your entry.
We do attempt to call you as close to the scheduled time as possible, but will always send you an email confirmation to the email address you provided. You may need to check your spam or junk mail folder.
You can always create a new username and password to complete the pre-registration for the new student.
Once you’ve logged in, simply select ADD NEW to add a new student. You can then add specific information for the new student you are registering. This won’t affect the other children already enrolled in school. OR if you’re more comfortable with creating a new username and password, you can do that to pre-register a new child.
IMPORTANT: If you’re using the same login, please be sure to review the parent/guardian page to verify contact information. If you are re-registering a student who is returning to Barrow County, you may see your original entry. You can’t edit this information and will need to ADD a student then navigate through all of the questions to create an updated entry.
Our registration staff will review your entry as close to the scheduled time as possible. YOU WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL CONFIRMING YOUR CHILD'S ENROLLMENT. We will only call you at that time, if we have a problem or question about your entry. It’s very important to upload all of the documents prior to scheduling the review. Failure to do so may cause a delay in enrolling and the need for you to reschedule.

The information collected is required by the State or District and is very important to have documented for your child(ren) and family.
