Coweta County Schools registering new students for 2019-20 academic year
From Coweta County Schools Press Release
Parents of students who are new to the Coweta County School System can register their children for the 2019-20 school year before school begins on Monday, Aug. 5.
Parents are encouraged to register students during this early period to avoid the rush of registering near the start of the new school year. New student registration is conducted at the school system’s Central Registration Center at 167 Werz Industrial Boulevard in Newnan (770-254-5551).
Through July 18, parents can register at the center from 7:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday (closed on Fridays). No new registrations are started after 4 p.m.
The Registration Center resumes normal hours on Monday, July 22, and will be open Mondays through Fridays between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. All registrations are conducted on a walk-in basis, first-come first-serve.
Enrolling a child for school is a two-step process:
STEP 1: Log on to the school system’s website www.cowetaschools.net and complete an online pre-registration form. Online pre-registration may be completed at home, or at kiosks available at the Werz Industrial Blvd. office.
