CCSD Families,
The student registration window for the upcoming school year is now open. If you have a new student, you will need to go to ccsdschools.com/registration to register your student.
Returning students will be able to use the PowerSchool Parent Portal to register student(s) for the 2024-2025 school year. You will need to log into your Parent Portal account and update the information in your account.
Please note that completing annual registration is essential as it allows schools to obtain your most up-to-date information, including emergency contacts and student medical updates.
In the event of an emergency impacting your child's school, CCSD will send text messages (called CCSD Alerts) with updates during the event. A summary message (call/email) will occur after the event. To receive these text messages, please provide a phone number identified as a mobile phone in the phone type selection. These forms of communication are sent using the contact information (mobile phone and email) provided through annual student registration. Please note that schools will also use text messaging during the school year for general information.
Registration and proof of residency are required for each child you have in a CCSD school, for both new and returning students in all grades, Early Head Start through 12th grade.
You can go to the district website at ccsdschools.com/parentportalvideos to watch videos that explain how to create and access your Parent Portal account including resetting your password.
If you have additional questions or need help after visiting the website or logging into the Parent Portal to fill out the student registration information, please contact your child’s school.
Thank you for your attention to this message.
Sincerely,
CCSD’s Office of Communications
