Should I Complete NEW or RETURNING Student Registration?

New Student Registration

The 2024-2025 New Student Registration form is for students who have not been enrolled at any school in Jefferson County during the 2023-2024 school year. Students entering kindergarten for the first time in Jefferson County and any other K-12 students joining us from a different school district should complete the New Student Registration form online. Parents of JEFCOED pre-k students who will move up to kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year will need to complete Returning Student Registration (below).
