The Coweta County School System educates children from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade through 29 elementary, middle and high schools organized on a district basis. Parents of students who are new to the Coweta County School System must enroll at their districted school. To find out which elementary, middle and high school serve your home call the School System Transportation Office at 770-254-2820.

Parents may register their children during any regular business day (please see our school calendar). Pre-Kindergarten classes are funded by the state of Georgia on a limited basis, and are the only age group that the schools may not have space to enroll. Please call your child’s school for more information about pre-Kindergarten availability or enrollment (see the new School Directory for administrators and school telephone numbers).

To enroll in a Georgia public school, Pre-K students must be 4 years old by September 1st; Kindergarten students must be 5 years old by September 1st; and First Grade students must be 6 years old by September 1st.
To register a child in Coweta County Schools for the first time, the following documentation is required:
 
1. A Notarized Affidavit of Residence (obtainable online or at the school) and two items from the following list for address verification:

a. property tax records which indicate the location of the residence;
b. mortgage documents or a security deed which indicates the location of the residence;
c. apartment or home lease or rent receipt indicating the current address;
d. current utility bill for electricity or utility application for electricity showing the current address;
e. voter precinct identification card or other voter documentation indicating the current address.

2. A certified copy of child’s birth certificate (hospital copy not acceptable)
3. The child’s Social Security Card (or signed waiver)
4. A current state picture ID or driver’s license of the parent or legal guardian registering student
5. Custody papers (if applicable). If parents are divorced, a copy of the final divorce decree must be provided.

A child must actually reside in a home within the school’s attendance area. If a family does not actually occupy the property, but has a move-in date, please contact the Superintendent’s office at 770-254-2801.

If a parent/legal guardian resides in a household other than their own and does not have their own proofs of residency, both parties (the parent and the host) must complete an affidavit of residency at the Coweta County School System Central Office, 237 Jackson Street, Newnan, Monday-Friday 8:00 p.m. to12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. In order to obtain an affidavit, the parent/legal guardian and the person with whom the parent/legal guardian is living must both visit the Board of Education Office. The person with whom the parent/legal guardian is living must provide a current state photo I.D., a copy of his/her lease or deed, showing the street address and name of resident, and a current electric bill. Questions regarding this affidavit should be directed to Pat Nixon at 770-254-2802.

All registering parents parent should also have – or provide at the earliest possible date before the start of school – their child’s last report card, high school transcript, withdrawal form or transfer form, if the child has attended another school before coming to a Coweta County school. Those documents will allow the school to devise an academic schedule for the child. If a child receives special educational services, a copy of the child’s Individual Educational Plan (IEP) will also be necessary.
