Supporting Our Families: 2026-27 District Registration Sessions

As we prepare for the 2026-27 school year, we request the support of all school leaders in communicating a vital message to our community: registration is mandatory for all new and returning students.

To ensure our families receive the necessary guidance, we strongly recommend that each school host at least two (2) on-site District Registration Nights. Offering multiple sessions provides the flexibility and direct assistance families need to navigate the enrollment process.

School leaders maintain the autonomy to select dates and times that best accommodate their families' needs. We encourage you to finalize these schedules promptly and begin outreach to your families to ensure maximum participation.

For technical assistance or guidance regarding the registration portal, please contact the Office of Enrollment and Attendance:

Email: studentservices@scsk12.org

Phone: 901-416-2989

Coming Soon: Regional Support Hubs – "Pop Out & Register"

The district is bringing registration assistance directly into the community! Our Regional Support Hubs will provide in-person assistance to ensure every family is prepared for the 2026-2027 school year.

What to Expect:

Families can visit these regional stations to receive hands-on help with the mandatory registration process, school choice guidance, and answer questions. 

Hubs will be strategically located in areas with lower registration volumes to ensure no family is left behind.

Stay Tuned: Locations, dates, and times are being finalized and will be shared soon.
