Coweta County Kindergarten Registration for 2021-22 starts Feb. 1

From Coweta County Schools Press Release

Parents can register their children for 2021-22 Kindergarten classes in the Coweta County School System starting Monday, February 1.

Parents are encouraged to register their Kindergarten-age child during this early period since many will be enrolling for school for the first time and early registration avoids the rush of registering near the start of the new school year.

Kindergarten classes in Coweta County Elementary schools are open to all Coweta children who will be five-years-old by September 1.

Registration for new students in grades 1-12 will begin June 1.
