Registration is now underway for new school year in Coweta

Registration for the 2016-2017 school year is underway at the Coweta County School System.

Orientation for the new school year will begin Aug. 5 at all schools.

Registration for the new school year will be at the Center Registration Center located at 167 Werz Industrial Boulevard in Newnan. The center can be contacted at 770-254-5551.

All registrations are on a walk-in basis. Through July 22, office hours are Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Starting July 25, office hours will return to Monday thru Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Parents whose children are new to Coweta schools next year are urged to enroll early to avoid long lines in the days before school starts. Enrolling a child for school is a three-step process. Information pertaining to the application can be viewed at www.cowetaschools.net. Online pre-registration may be completed at home or at kiosks available at the Werz Industrial Drive office.

Students already enrolled in a Coweta County School System pre-Kindergarten class during the 2016-17 school year do not need to register again to enter Kindergarten.

Students must attend the school for which their home is districted. To find out what elementary school district serves an address, call the Coweta County School System Transportation Department at 770-254-2820.
