Where to Start?
If you do not have access to a computer for the online application process, a laptop can be used at your local library or contact the Student & Family Service Center located at 400 East Broad Street Savannah, Georgia to make an appointment at 912-395-5584. Please allow at least 30 minutes to fill out your application per student.
Prepare Yourself In order to complete the online application process smoothly, it is recommended to gather this information before starting:
• Digitalize all documents that are needed for online registration (see Document Upload Help Guide from the Student Registration Webpage)
• All Parent/Guardian information, including parents not residing in the primary household
• Both Residential and Mailing addresses, home and cell phone numbers
• Names of additional household members (children not yet in school) • Student Social security card (if applicable)
• Status of services received such as IEP, Gifted, 540 plan, etc.
• Previous school(s) attended
• Emergency Contact Name and Phone Numbers
• Health services information such as allergies and medical conditions
• Disciplinary information such as suspensions and time spent in an alternative school • Probation, Court System Documentation (if applicable)
• An email account is required for the registration process. If you don’t have an email, create one at Yahoo or Google for free.
Step 1: Create an Account, Parent/Guardian Profile Password & Set Up Security Questions
- Create an Account A desktop computer, laptop, or smart phone using the most recent version of Google Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer is highly recommended for best results. Go to sccpss.com/family-students/registration and click the link under "Step One"
Step 2: Add New Registering Student(s)
- Add New Students Enter the student’s first name, last name, and date of birth. Click “add student” to add any additional students. The name(s) and birthdate should be entered as shown on the official birth certificate. There will be a field located later within the application to enter a nickname.
Step 3: Answer Form Verification Questions for each enrolling student
- Verify the enrollment school year and answer category questions concerning each student entered (such as Pre-school Intervention Program (PSI) for ages 3-5 or Choice Program Student Options). If any of these categories apply to the registering student, answer “yes” for additional instructions. *Note: If the registering child has received a seat in a choice program, the parent/guardian should NOT complete a new online registration. School Choice has their own registration process.
Step 4: Continue the Application Complete all sections of the application for each student.
- The left bookmark will guide you; click the green “NEXT” button on the bottom of each section to proceed.

Step 5: Uploading the Documents
- Parents and guardians are required to upload specific documents as part of the registration process. Failure to upload all required documentation will result in an incomplete application.

- Step 5B: Choose Electronic File Click “Choose File” to select the electronic file from your computer, phone, camera, or digital device

Step 6: Electronic Signature & Submit

Once all information has been entered for the final registering student(s), select agree, type the parent/guardian full name, and enter the date. Your application will not be complete until you have clicked the “Submit” button.
