    What You Will Need to Register Your Kindergarten Student

    Prior to beginning the registration process, you will need to collect a few documents, including:

    • Your child’s birth Certificate
    • Immunization Record
    • Proof of Residency Documents (2)

    You may choose to scan the document (.doc or .pdf) or upload an image (photograph in .jpg or .png format) of the required documents. Please note that a copy of your child’s Birth Certificate and Immunization record must also be submitted in person to your child’s school prior to the first day.

    You will be asked to upload two proof of residency documents. Acceptable documents include the following:

    • Mortgage contract or statement
    • SC Driver's License or ID Card
    • Property Tax bill or Receipt
    • Utility Bill (electric, water or gas)
    • Cable/satellite, Internet or telephone bill
    • Homeowners/renters Insurance policy
    • Notarized Letter from Landlord

    You will also be asked to enter the name of your child’s pediatrician and dentist, along with their telephone numbers and addresses. Family members and friends to call on in an emergency will also be requested. You may enter up to five emergency contacts.

    Emergency Contacts/Bus Escorts

    While in our District, learning is certainly important, however, the safety of your children is our highest priority. Any student riding the bus in grades PK-Grade 2 must be met by an adult after school at the bus stop. Students grade 2 and lower will not be left at a bus stop alone. An exception to this rule can be made if a kindergarten student will be riding a bus and getting off at the bus stop with an older sibling (grade 3 or higher). You will be asked to identify up to five individuals who may meet your child at the bus. You will need to list their names and a contact telephone number for each.

    FAQs

    Why do families need an e-mail address to create their account?

    E-mail will be the method for all major communications between Aiken County PowerSchool Registration and your family.  These communications include the new account creation e-mail and the submission confirmation e-mail.

    Why do families need to create an Aiken County PowerSchool Registration account?

    Having families store their child’s and family’s information within a secure account ensures the security of that information. In addition, as your child progresses to subsequent grades in our District, you’ll create a PowerSchool Parent Portal account that will allow you to view transportation information, attendance and other pertinent information about your child’s education.
