Registration Requirements

Registration Requirements

Person enrolling and student must be residents of Paulding County to enroll in a Paulding County school.  When registering a new student in the Paulding County School District and school is already in session, the student is expected to start school within 3 school days.

Only a parent/guardian living at the same address as the student may register and enroll the student. Step-parents cannot register a student on behalf of a biological parent.  The biological parent that the student is residing with must register the student.  If you have more questions regarding this issue, please contact Central Registration at 770-505-3558.
