Central Registration Help Center
Effingham County Schools uses an online application process to complete registration for new students. Please take note of the information on this page, as it will allow you to quickly and accurately complete the process.
If you do not have access to a computer for the online application process, we have computers/laptops set up to use for online applications at the Central Registration Center. Please email/call CRC so that an appointment can be made to have a computer/laptop ready for you. Please arrive 30 minutes early if your appointment is for you to complete your online application AND provide all required documents. Add more time if you are registering more than one child.
You may also choose to stop by the Central Registration Center during business hours to drop off required documents, if you are not able to upload them. While this process does not typically take long if you have already submitted an online application, we recommend that you still email/call CRC to make an appointment ahead of time. This allows us to know how many families to expect, in order to better serve you. We will have attendants on hand if you need assistance.
Important notice about using devices:
While many have experienced good results using their cell phones or tablets when completing online applications, using one of these devices is not recommended for security and compatibility reasons. Some users have reported being able to enter information, but it either did not save or would not finish when the “Submit” button was pressed. A desktop computer or laptop using the most recent version of Google Chrome or Firefox is highly recommended for the best results. Please call 754.2530 or email registration@effingham.k12.ga.us for more information.Use the article links below to become familiar with the online registration application process.

What are other options if I don't own a desktop or laptop computer?
There are resources available to our community that would allow you to complete your application online. The library will allow you to use the computer for an hour, which is plenty of time to fill out the application.
If you currently have a child in school, reach out to the media center in your child's school to see if there is a time you can come by to use one of the lab computers.
If you have friends and family who own a laptop or desktop, ask if you could use it to complete your application.

I didn't receive the email to start my online application. What should I do?
Check your junk mail folder. Because our application emails are generated by the system, some email providers may mark the message as spam. The email should start with "Welcome to Effingham County Schools...".
If you still cannot find the email, send an email to registration@effingham.k12.ga.us with the parent first and last name that was used to start the application and the date that the app was started. A new email can be sent to the email address that you used to start the application.
If the email address you used seems to be having problems, you can start a new application with a different email address.

I submitted my application but have not heard anything back. What should I do?
First, make sure that your application was submitted. After clicking the "Submit" button, you should have received an email confirming that your application has been submitted. If you did not receive this email, try to go back and check your application to see if you get to the submit screen. Check your email after submitting to make sure you received the message.
Registrations take anywhere from 3-5 days, depending on the time of year. If you are sure your application has been submitted but you have not heard anything, keep an eye on your email. Our registrars often send questions and notices through email as part of the registration process. If it has been longer than 3-5 days, call or email Central Registration for an update.

When all resources have been exhausted...
...and you cannot submit your application, you can fill out your application on the day of your appointment. To make your appointment, email registration@effingham.k12.ga.us and someone will be in touch to schedule your appointment and make arrangements so that a laptop will be made available to you.
It is important that you arrive to your appointment in enough time to fill out your application. Be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes early and have all your required documents. If your application is not submitted when your appointment time arrives, your appointment may need to be rescheduled.
