Registration 2026-2027

Starting on July 6, 2026, families will receive a registration email for each current student (and incoming 4K & 5K child enrolled during the Kindergarten Round-Up).

Once you have received your registration code by email, you are ready to register.  If you have not received your child's registration code, please contact your child's school.

Returning Student Registration: Complete in 2 Easy Steps

Step 1: Complete Online Registration

Use the registration code link above to complete registration as soon as possible. The information you provide will help us create student schedules and assign teachers, which will be shared with families electronically before school starts on July 30th.

For students entering grades 6 or 9, or if there has been a change of address, three current proofs of residency are required. These documents must show the parent/guardian’s name and the student’s home address. You can upload these documents during online registration, or visit your child’s school on a Registration Help Day for assistance. Acceptable documents include a power bill, vehicle registration, lease/mortgage agreement, tax document, contract, or driver’s license.

Step 2: Pay Fees

All students are required to pay a $10 technology fee. Families may pay online using www.myschoolbucks.com, which also accepts payments for parking, athletics, yearbooks, and other school-related items. Please note: MySchoolBucks charges a small processing fee. If you prefer not to use the online system, fees can be paid in person during Registration Help Days at your child’s school.

Do I have to go to the school to complete my registration?
No, student registration can be completed online without having to come to school unless families need internet access, help with the form or prefer to pay fees in person.

If I enrolled my child for kindergarten earlier this year, do I still need to register online?
Yes. The earlier enrollment established your child’s initial enrollment record, but you still need to complete the online registration process for the new school year.

How do parents of returning students start the online process?
Visit www.kcsdschools.net/register and click the Registration link. Then enter your student’s unique Snapcode number to start the process.

Do I have to answer all the questions?
Questions marked with a "Required" tag are required.

What if I make a mistake?
If you would like to make a change, click on the underlined field or click “< Prev” to return to a previous page.

I’ve completed the form; now what?
When you have finished entering your information, click “Submit.” This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure that you have answered all the required questions. If you click “Submit” and are then taken to the Submission Confirmation page, your online registration is complete.

Do I need to print out anything to prove that I have completed the online registration process?
As long as you are taken to the Submission Confirmation page after you click “Submit,” your registration is complete.

Is there a fee to use PowerSchool Registration?
No.

Do I need to fill out the free/reduced meal application?
All students in Kershaw County School District will receive free breakfast and lunch during the 2025-2026 school year as part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. Parents will no longer be asked to complete a Free and Reduced Meal Application during online registration.

What if I have more than one student in the district? Do I need to do this for each child?
Yes, you will need to register each student because you’ll need to provide information that is specific for each child. We recommend that you submit the first registration and then click the START ANOTHER REGISTRATION link on the submission confirmation page to register your next student. This way, you will not have to enter shared family information again to save time.

What are the fees?
All families pay an annual technology fee per student and there may be school-level athletic and parking fees.  Families are also responsible for any outstanding debt still owed, including lost materials and negative cafeteria balances.

Families are able to pay fees online using our MySchoolBucks (www.myschoolbucks.com) payment system. Please note that MySchoolBucks does charge a processing fee for online payments. Parents who do not want to use the online payment system will need to pay fees to the school on the Registration Help Days. 

I don’t understand what a question is asking.
You can contact your school to ask any general questions about the form or the process.

What if I have a new student to register?
Families of new students should contact the school that the student will be attending to start the registration process. Kershaw County School Board policy requires parents to bring to registration the following documents to enroll a student for the first time: a copy of the child's birth certificate, the child’s South Carolina Certificate of Immunization, a parent/guardian’s valid South Carolina driver’s license, a tax document with the current and correct address, a check stub with the current and correct address, either a mortgage or lease agreement or legally notarized documentation from the landlord and a current (two months or less) utility bill (electric, gas, telephone or water) that contains the student’s address.

What if my primary language is Spanish?
Our online registration process is available in English and in Spanish. To change the language, select the drop box in the upper right corner.

All new students, students with a new address, and students going into grades 6 and 9 will be required to upload three documents for proof of residency. Examples of these documents include a photo I.D., a recent tax document for vehicles or primary residence, recent payroll check, bank document, mortgage, real estate purchase contract, rental/lease agreement, or power or water bill. View this list at www.kcsdschools.net/new.

We ask families to please complete online registration as soon as possible, as schools will use the information provided to develop student schedules and determine teacher assignments.

As a reminder, all students in Kershaw County School District will receive free breakfast and lunch during the 2026-2027 school year as part of the Community Eligibility Provision program. Parents do not need to complete a Free and Reduced Meal Application.
