New Student Registration 

Newton County Schools will offer the combination of online registration and in-person registration for the 2024-2025 school year. The Infinite Campus online registration platform will open on June 24, 2024. Although parents/guardians will be able to access and begin registration in the Infinite Campus online registration platform on June 24, 2024, student registration and class assignments will not be completed until staff members return from the summer break.

When enrolling a child into the Newton County School System, the following items are necessary:

• Certified copy of the student's Birth Certificate
• Student's Social Security Card
• Form 3231: GA Certificate of Immunization
• New Immunization Requirements
• Form 3300: GA Certificate of Eye, Ear and Dental Examination (this is only required for students entering a GA public school for the first time.)
• Parent or Guardian Photo ID
• Proof of Custody/Guardianship (if the birth parent is not registering the student)
• Proof of Newton County Residency MUST be a lease, deed, signed closing statement or non-contingent sales contract AND at least one utility bill (gas, electric, water).
• Withdrawal forms (or final report card) from previous school
• Certified copy of the student's Discipline Report (for students entering 7th-12th grade)
• If the student never got into trouble, a letter from the school stating that the child has no discipline record is required in lieu of a Discipline Report.
  

Note:

• The person registering the student MUST be the parent named on the birth certificate unless official guardianship papers are presented.
• In the case of divorced parents, only the parent who has "primary physical custody" as designated in the final divorce decree will be permitted to register the student. ****MUST present final divorce paperwork at registration.
• The name(s) on the proofs of residency MUST be the parent named on the birth certificate or designated as the official guardian on the official paperwork. If the proof of residency is in the name of a step-parent, a marriage certificate MUST be presented that proves the step-parent and official parent/guardian are married.
• Absolutely NO "notarized letters" will be accepted in lieu of official guardianship papers.
