Step 1: Complete Online Registration
Kindergarten Online Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is now open!
If this is your first time registering any student for GCPS:
- For parents enrolling a Kindergarten or new student, and you have no other students in the GCPS system, please click here to begin the Online Registration process. A reminder to please complete the required Online Registration Form for EACH new student you are registering.
If you currently have other children attending a GCPS school:
- If you already have another child enrolled in a GCPS school, you will need to add your new student via your ParentVue account. Log into ParentVUE and begin the registration process by clicking on the 'Online Registration' button in the upper right-hand corner.
- Note: March 2024 GCPS consolidated Parent Portal and ParentVue. You will need to reset your ParentVue password by clicking 'forgot password'. Please continue to use your email as your username.
- Please DO NOT create a new ParentVue account for the new student. Use your existing ParentVue account to register your new student. If you cannot log into your account, please call the school for help @ (678)376-8500.
If you are enrolling a new Kindergartener for the 2024-2025 school year, the child must be 5 years old by September 1, 2024.
