Enrollment/Registration Information
MOVED WITHIN GREENVILLE SCHOOLS – BUT SCHOOL CHANGED??
During the summer, parents are not required to come in to the school withdraw their student. If a student is moving and remaining in the Greenville County school district, the parent should sign in to their existing parent Backpack, go to the “enrollment” section and choose “start a new enrollment.” You will need to enter all of your student’s information so our system is updated correctly. Upload copies of the current proofs of residence. Proofs of residence (lease/mortgage and current utility bill) must have statement dates within 30 days of submitting your enrollment in Backpack. A copy of the parent’s photo id and the student’s birth certificate must also be uploaded. Once you submit the request and it is received, we will review it and when approved we will request records from the previous school. Due to state reporting guidelines, no phone calls or email requests will be accepted.
What if I want to speak to someone about my child’s enrollment? Please email Whitney McDaris at wmcdaris@greenville.k12.sc.us. We have limited enrollment staffing over the summer, so there may be a delay in responding to your email.
Keep your reading momentum going all summer long with the Greenville County Library System Summer Reading Challenge! From May 27–August 1, students can log their reading, earn prizes, attend exciting events, and discover great books all summer long. Audiobooks count, too!
Students ages 3–17 can participate by reading 6 hours (or 24 books for younger readers) and tracking progress through Beanstack or a reading log. Prizes include Greenville Drive game tickets, restaurant coupons, reading medals, and more while supplies last.
Families can also enjoy free summer events including magic shows, wildlife rescue programs, writing workshops, dance parties, comic drawing classes, and more at library branches across the county.

How do I Register for the First Time? | For Parents
Greenville County Schools reminds all parents and guardians that South Carolina law requires one (1) dose of the Tdap vaccine for all students entering 7th grade.
The Tdap vaccine protects against three serious diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). This requirement has been in place for students since the 2013–14 school year. If your child has already received the vaccine, please provide an updated South Carolina Certificate of Immunization to the school nurse.
If your child has not yet received the vaccine, please schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider, local pharmacy, or the health department as soon as possible.
Important Deadline:
Students entering 7th grade who have not received the Tdap vaccine by August 2026 will not be permitted to attend school until proof of vaccination or a valid exemption is submitted, as required by state law.
For additional information, please contact your school nurse. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and healthy!
