The registration process is all electronic and requires an Internet connection and either a mobile device or a traditional computer. Please read the registration process overview first and gather all required documents before you register your child.
If, at any point during the process, you have any questions about the registration process or your child's particular school, please contact the school directly using the information at the bottom of the page.
Complete Pre-Registration Form
A school secretary will request proof of residency before acceptance of the pre-registration.
Pre-Registration Acceptance
Once your pre-registration has been accepted by the school, you will receive an email with instructions for completing the registration process as outlined next.
Receive Enrollment Email
This email will outline the rest of the enrollment process and will contain very explicit instructions as well as specific information required to complete the process.
Log Into Your PowerSchool Parent Portal Account
Connect the pre-registered student to your PowerSchool Parent Portal account using the Access ID and Access Password in the email. If you do not already have a PowerSchool Parent Portal account with Cheshire Public Schools, then you will need to create one using the instructions in the email or from our PowerSchool Parent Portal Guide.
Prepare Documentation
Make sure you have all the required documentation before starting the enrollment forms so the process can be completed in one session.
NOTE: The required documents, listed below, must each be uploaded as separate single digital files. For easy digitization of your single or multi-page documents on the go, we highly recommend Adobe Scan, a free mobile app available on both iOS and Android.
Complete Enrollment Forms
It may be easier to submit the forms using a mobile device as the camera will allow you to easily scan/upload the required personal documentation.
