New to CCSD

New to CCSD students should follow the registration process below. Once all forms have been completed and documentation or primary residence in 29464 has been received we will reach out to schedule an enrollment meeting with a School Counselor for class registration and to discuss transition. Please reach out to our registrar Elizabeth Chase at elizabeth_chase@charleston.k12.sc.us or 843-953-2907 for any help with this process.

Current CCSD

Rising 9th grade students from our direct feeder schools in Mt. Pleasant do not need to complete a new registration in the Spring. Students who currently reside in our attendance zone attending Moultrie, Laing or East Cooper Montessori will be automatically sent to us in PowerSchool and do not need to complete the entire registration process, only provide current residency through the CCSD portal and complete returning student information. School Counselors will visit Moultrie , Laing and East Cooper Montessori to register students for classes in the Spring. Students at other CCSD schools such as SOA or Buist will need to follow the returning student process and meet with a School Counselor to register for classes. 

Beginning Beckham

We know so many questions come along with starting at a new school so we've created this handout with links to helpful information (see below). Please call 843-953-2907 if you have any questions about starting the school year.
