Registration Overview

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 enrolled 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.
