North Charleston Student Registration Centers for 2013-14 academic year

A registration center is a “one-stop shop” for parents in Charleston County School District’s (CCSD’s) Constituent District 4 (which includes North Charleston and Ladson). Each center acts as a service hub during the summer for parents and guardians. Instead of traveling to multiple locations and calling multiple people, you will be able to speak directly with highly-trained staff.

Registration Center Locations, Dates, and Hours

Who needs to visit one of our centers?
     The families of students who are new to CCSD and reside in North Charleston or Ladson
     The families of current CCSD students who have moved or are moving to North Charleston or Ladson

What services are provided at the centers?
     Assistance with the registration process for students age pre-K through 12th grade, who plan to attend any school (excluding countywide magnet schools) located in North Charleston or Ladson
     Information about bus transportation
     Options for English Language Learners
     Information about resources for special needs students
     Information about the federal lunch program
     Information about important medical requirements (immunizations, etc.)

What important things do I need to know before visiting a center?
Parents/guardians in North Charleston and Ladson need to register their child at the closest service center and not at your child’s home school or a partial magnet school. It is strongly recommended that you call and make an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome, but your wait time may be longer.

To reduce your enrollment center visit time, go to www.ccsdschools.com, click on “Student Registration” under Quick Links, and use InfoSnap to begin your registration process.

If you are registering your child, please bring the following items with you to the registration center:
     Child’s Legal Birth Certificate or Certificate of Live Birth
     Child’s SC Certificate of Immunization
     Proof of Parent’s Residency (i.e. signed current lease or most recent tax bill)
     Plus, one of the following recent documents: utility bill, water bill, car registration, pay stub, or piece of local/state/federal agency mail

You will be asked to submit a notarized affidavit. The form is available and can be notarized at the registration center.
