CENTRALIZED REGISTRATION
Welcome to Valdosta City Schools Centralized Registration
Valdosta City Schools is pleased to announce the opening of our new Centralized Registration Office. All parents enrolling a new student can schedule an "In-Person" appointment or use our online registration platform to complete the enrollment and registration process. Valdosta City Schools Centralized Registration Office staff is committed to making the enrollment process as easy and efficient as possible for families. Centralized enrollment and registration is designed to assist families new to the Valdosta City School System with student enrollment needs, as well as handle current students wishing to “move/transfer” within the district. It is our wish to make the transition to a new school as easy as possible. With the needs of new families in mind, we have made it possible to enroll all children (Grades PreK - 12) in the family at one time and in one central location.
Our Centralized Registration Department is located on the block of the Valdosta Board of Education at the official address of 1215 Slater Street. Parents/guardians will no longer have to register on site at the schools they are zoned to attend.
