Enrolling Your ChildWelcome to Pitt County Schools. The following information will guide you through enrolling your child as a new student in our school district. We look forward to working with you and your child throughout their education.Enrollment Overview:Student enrollment is completed online through a central portal for all schools. The portal will select the school assigned to the address and grade level of the student being enrolled. Once you create a login and complete the online registration, you will be contacted by your child’s new school to finalize your enrollment and/or coordinate the submission of all required documents (i.e. birth certificate, proof of residence, health form, current IEP and/or other relevant documents).You may also go to the school in your assigned attendance area and use the registration kiosk in the main office.Here are a few of the documents you will need to enroll your student:
- Photo Identification of parent/legal guardian
- Student’s birth certificate (original preferred)
- In North Carolina, birth certificates are available from the Register of Deeds in the county where the child was born (www.ncard.us). For children born in any other state, go to the National Center for Health Statistics website for information about obtaining a copy of a birth certificate from that particular state (www.cdc.gov/nchs/w2w/index.
