Register for School

Welcome to the GCSS Central Registration Office

The Glynn County School System has a centralized registration process for parents who are enrolling their child in school in Glynn County for the first time. Parents must visit the Central Registration office to register their child or children.

  • All new students entering Glynn County Schools must complete the registration process. Your child is considered a new student if one of the following applies to you:

    • Children enrolling in school for the first time
    • Students transferring from private schools, home schools, or other public school districts
    • Students who previously attended Glynn County Schools but withdrew and are now returning

    Returning students who are currently enrolled do not need to re-register each year. 

  • To register new students in grades K through 12th, begin the registration process by clicking here. Once completed, you will need to finalize registration at the Central Office, located at 5505 Altama Ave. in Brunswick, Ga.

  • Registration for new students typically opens in early spring and remains open throughout the year. For the 2025–2026 school year, families are encouraged to begin the registration process as early as possible to ensure placement and allow time to gather all required documents.

    Exact registration dates and deadlines will be posted on the Glynn County Schools website and shared through district communication channels once available.

  • Parents/guardians will need to schedule an appointment for a registration session by visiting our Online Registration Calendar, and registration packets must be completed prior to the scheduled session.

     

  • Documents that will be requested when registering a new student include: 

    • A certified copy of the child’s birth certificate (one identified with a state file number);
    • The child’s Social Security card (disclosure of the child's Social Security Number is voluntary);
    • A certificate of immunization completed by the Glynn County Health Department or primary healthcare provider (DHR form 3231);
    • A certificate of vision/hearing/dental/nutrition screening (DHR form 3300 current within the year that the child enters school) completed by the health department or healthcare provider;
    • Proof of residence (current utility bill, rent/lease/purchase agreement);
    • Parent/legal guardian identification (parent/legal guardian must be present and any photo identification presented as documentation does not have to be government issued);
    • Custody documents (if applicable).

    The DHR forms may be obtained from the health department or the child’s primary care provider. Parents who have medical or religious objections to immunizations or health screenings should contact the health department or a private physician for proper documentation.

  • If your residence changes within Glynn County after your child is enrolled, the parent or legal guardian must complete a Change of Address Form. Schools require this form before any updates can be made to a student’s address on file. The form should be presented to the school along with a current proof of residence and photo ID.

  • For more information about the Registration process, call the Central Registration Office at 912-280-4010.

  • How do I know if my child is eligible for Pre-kindergarten?
    To be eligible for Pre-K in Glynn County for the 2025–2026 school year, your child must be four years old on or before September 1, 2025, and you must be a legal, custodial parent or guardian residing in Glynn County.

    To be considered, you’ll need to complete the Pre-K Wait List Form. Please note: phone calls to place children on the wait list will NOT be accepted.

    Students are selected at random. Parents and guardians will be contacted by phone, text, email, or mail with next steps to schedule a registration appointment.


    What do I need to register my Pre-kindergarten child?
    To register your child, you must have the following documents when we contact you to schedule appointments:

    • Certified Birth Certificate – this is with the state file number.  (Not the one with the foot prints from the hospital).
    • Student’s Social Security Card – those objecting to the use of the number may sign a waiver.
    • Proof of Residency – This can be a current utility bill, rent/lease agreement.  Driver’s License will NOT be accepted.
    • Parent Photo ID
    • Custody Documents, if applicable
    • Georgia Certificate of Immunization Form 3231 within 30 days, once school begins
    • Georgia Certificate of Vision, Hearing, Dental, and Nutrition Screening Form 3300 within 90 days, once school begins.

    How many Pre-kindergarten students can be enrolled, and where are classes held? 
    Facility limitations and state guidelines currently cap Pre-K enrollment in Glynn County public schools at 470 students. These students are served at FACES (Family and Children’s Educational Services), the district’s Pre-K Center, as well as select elementary schools: Altama, Glyndale, Goodyear, Greer, Oglethorpe Point, Satilla Marsh, St. Simons, and Sterling. Pre-K is a full-day program that follows the regular school calendar.
