All students required to register for new school year

  • Published
All students in the Pulaski County Special School District, whether they will be a new or returning student, will have to register at the school they will be attending, according to Assistant Superintendent for Equity and Pupil Services Brenda Bowles.

Bowles said registering is necessary because the district is moving to eschoolPLUS, an upgraded data collection system and student data must be current. PCSSD is piloting the new system at the request of the Arkansas Department of Education, which is funding it.

"We typically have not required all students to register in the past, but it is paramount that they begin to do so this year. Secondary students, for example, will not receive a class schedule if they are not registered," Bowles said.

Bowles said the district has dedicated several days and extended times to make registering easier for parents and guardians. Registration will be the week of July 26 at the school the student will attend.

The times for registration are as follows: 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. July 26 through July 28 and 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. July 29 and July 30.

Parents should take proof of residence, which may include a utility bill, as well as any updated contact information, Bowles said.
