Virtual Registration step by step Start here
Step 1: Required Form, Medical Forms, Additional Documents
If you have not done so already, please complete the Student Transportation Verification for the 2024-2025 school year. The majority of Manual families will mark “car rider” for their transportation this year. However, families who have been notified for receiving the services list below will have their transportation designation marked by the District.
Exceptional Child Education (ECE) students who have transportation as a part of their Individual Education Program (IEP).
Students who are eligible to receive McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act services.
Required Forms:
Online registration forms can be found at Parent Place on the JCPS website. https://apps.jefferson.kyschools.us/ParentAccount
Paper copies of the forms will be available during registration dates if needed.
Additional Documents:
Social Security Card- Social Security numbers are required for KHEAA to submit for KEES money and Dual Credit Scholarship funding. It is optional to provide your Social Security (SS) number and a copy of your SS card to the school., however without a SS number you will not be eligible for KEES or Dual Credit Scholarships.
KEES- The KEES program provides scholarships to students who earn at least a 2.5 GPA each year of attendance at a certified Kentucky high school. The better you do in high school, the more you earn toward college. You may also earn awards for ACT/SAT scores and Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge Advanced International (CAI) test scores.
Dual Credit Scholarship- The Dual Credit Scholarship provides assistance for Kentucky high school and home school students who are taking dual credit classes at a participating Kentucky college or university. Eligible students may receive scholarships for up to two classes.
Under FERPA, an eligible student (or the parent(s) or guardians if you are under 18) has the right to request that inaccurate or misleading information in his or her education records be amended. While a school is not required to amend education records in accordance with an eligible student's request, the school is required to consider the request. If the school decides not to amend a record in accordance with an eligible student's request, the school must inform the student of his or her right to a hearing on the matter. If, as a result of the hearing, the school still decides not to amend the record, the eligible student has the right to insert a statement in the record setting forth his or her views. That statement must remain with the contested part of the eligible student's record for as long as the record is maintained.
This form may not be used to challenge a grade, an opinion, or a substantive decision made by a school about an eligible student. If the request is for a name change without legal documentation, remember that some permanent documents in the record will remain under the legal name until a legal name change is procured. Until then, the student’s preferred name will be shown on all teacher rosters, report cards and attendance reports. Legal names will show on standardized test results and official transcripts.
