We are so excited to welcome your child to Aiken County Public Schools and we look forward to making the registration process and your child’s transition to our public schools as simple as possible! Please access the appropriate link listed below.

Aiken County Public Schools will accept handwritten transcripts before the official transcripts arrive to ensure students are enrolled quickly. We strive to make the registration process as easy as possible for all families, especially those with unique relocation needs such as those relocating to our county for military service. We honor the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunities for Military Children.    

Parents/guardians will need an active email address in order to register new students. Various companies provide email accounts at no cost.

Returning Student Registration:

Returning student registration includes all students who are currently enrolled in an Aiken County Public School who are planning to return to attend an Aiken County Public School for the next school year.
Parents/Guardians will access returning registration by logging in to their Powerschool Parent Portal account.  Please note that returning students do provide proof of residency each year.  

Parent Portal: The Parent Portal account allows parents to create a single sign-on account where they can view all their student’s information in one area even if the students attend different schools. This includes registration, transportation information, grades and attendance. This year, all transportation information including bus numbers, pick-up times etc. will be available in your Parent Portal account prior to the start of school.  If you need assistance in setting up a Parent Portal account, please contact the school as this is the easiest way to register your student(s).

• Access your parent portal account at aiken.powerschool.com.

• Click on "Returning Student Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year" icon located on the main navigation located on the left side of the page.

• Please enter your student’s birthdate in mm/dd/yyyy format and click continue to begin.

Registration Fees/Fee Payment: Detailed information regarding registration fees and add-on fees including payment via e~Funds for Schools can be found on the Registration Fees page.

Registration Support: Families are encouraged to register online in advance. If you need support with registration or need to access a computer for registration, schools will be open and available for parents to come in throughout the summer Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. with the exception of July 1-4 when they will be closed in observance of the holiday.
