New Student Registration

Hi there! If you are currently enrolled in an HCPS school and are moving into our school zone, please do not register online. Call our office at 804-364-8080 and we will provide directions on how to proceed.

Students new to HCPS:

To register, please follow the steps below:

  1. Parents/guardians of students in kindergarten through 12th grade are required to create a PowerSchool Enrollment account to begin the registration process. Instructions and online enrollment forms will be accessible in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Vietnamese.
    Parents and guardians will receive an email notification once the enrollment form is submitted.
    Rising 2026-27 kindergarten registration began March 23, 2026. Rising kindergarten students must be 5 years old before Sept. 30, 2026.
  2. Please go to Enrollment and register your child. Be careful to choose the correct school year and "Kaechele" in the dropdown.
  3. Technical support is available online to parents and guardians by clicking “Help” from any enrollment form page or visiting PowerSchool Community Enrollment (Registration) Family Support. Parents and guardians can also contact PowerSchool Support by phone at 866-434-6276. Press 1 and then 4 for Registration Support. Click Q&A: Enrollment (Registration) Family Support to review family support FAQ regarding PowerSchool Enrollment.
  4. Once we have received your forms, our registrar will send you an email with the additional required forms and documents:
  • Your signed deed/lease/mortgage statement.
  • A current utility bill in your name (dated within the past 30 days).
  • Your photo ID (name must match the name on the birth certificate and on the deed/lease/mortgage statement and utility bill).
  • Your child’s original birth certificate.
  • A signed physical dated within 12 months of the Aug. 24, 2026 start date, with evidence of TB screening, and a signed immunization record (These documents must be presented before the student begins school Aug. 24, 2026.).

Once you have gathered the required documents and completed the attached forms, please call the school at 804-364-8080 to schedule an appointment to complete your registration.

To shorten the time required for your appointment, you may email the required documents and forms to lmborgerson@henrico.k12.va.us with the exception of the original birth certificate and your photo ID. These documents must be presented in person at your registration appointment where we will make copies of the originals and return them to you. Please note that only one adult (and an interpreter if necessary) will be permitted to attend the appointment. Please do not bring students to this appointment.  

If you need additional information, please contact our registrar by calling 804-364-8080.
