2025-2026 New Student Registration

We are still accepting new student registrations for the 2025–2026 academic year.

The process is conducted through a secure and user-friendly online system, enabling Burke County parents and guardians to complete registration entirely online, including uploading required documentation such as birth certificates and proof of residency.

Parents and Guardians will access the online registration by clicking the 2025-2026 New Student Registration button located below:

  - Official Social Security Card
  - Georgia Certificate of Immunization
  - Four-Point Screening, which includes the Georgia Certificate of Vision, Hearing, Dental, and Nutrition Screening

  - A current property tax receipt/bill or vehicle registration
  - Power or gas bill (water bills cannot be accepted)
  - Home mortgage note/sales agreement

  - Notarized family residency affidavit signed by both parties in front of the notary at the school of enrollment
  - Mail with the address listed on the affidavit.

For the best user experience, please have all required documentation ready before beginning the registration process. To prepare documents for uploading, save files and images of documents to your device as a PDF document or a JPEG (picture).
