New Student Registration

Registration information for parents

Parents who plan to enroll their child in Sumter School District for the first time are encouraged to enroll as soon as possible to avoid last-minute crowds. Parents may register their child in the school zoned for their residence during regular school hours. Parents unsure of their school zone may contact the district’s attendance office at (803) 469-6900, extension 507.

Children must be 4 or 5 on or before Sept. 1 to enroll in pre-kindergarten or kindergarten, respectively. State law mandates that children ages 5 to 17 be in school.

Upon registration, parents are required to provide school personnel with the child’s official birth certificate or other proof of name and age, proof of residence and the S.C. Immunization Form (DHEC 2740).

The district recommends that parents of children transferring from another school district also bring the child’s latest report card. Children transferring from out of state must have their health certificate information on a South Carolina form. Parents must take out-of-state certificates to a doctor or clinic in South Carolina to have the information transferred to the correct form.
