Registration Overview

NOTE: Starting with the 2025–2026 school year, CCSD will no longer use ParentPortal for student registration. All student registrations must be completed through the FinalForms portal.

Students New to CCSD OR Pre-K/Kindergarten:
Select "New Student Enrollment" for the 2025–2026 school year and create a FinalForms account. For step-by-step help, see our FinalForms Parent Guide.

Returning Students:
All current CCSD students must complete the Returning Student Validation for the 2025–2026 school year. Starting Monday, April 14, 2025, families will receive an email from Chester County Schools via FinalForms with instructions on completing this step. For additional guidance, refer to our FinalForms Parent Guide.

Registration Requirements:

In order to register, all new students must reside in the school district’s attendance area (Chester, Great Falls, and Lewisville) at the time of enrollment. The student must be registered with his or her Legal Guardian as established at birth, with his or her parents, or as established by a Family Court (custody papers signed by a Judge). No affidavits are acceptable.

Students attend schools based on their legal residence. If you do not know which attendance area you are to be registered in, please contact the District's Attendance Office at 803-581-9545 or by email at tharrington@chester.k12.sc.us.

If you are unable to upload the required documentation after enrolling for the first time, please contact your child's school to schedule an appointment and bring all of the required documentation for enrollment. 

If you are having trouble logging in, please use the Forgot Password link on the Final Forms login page or contact your child's school directly.
