Attalla City Schools

Enrollment

Attalla City Schools utilizes PowerSchool Enrollment, an online system for registering and updating student information. This solution creates an efficient means for updating information year after year. All students, returning and new, will need to register online.

A returning student is one that was enrolled on the last day of school with Attalla City Schools. If your child is currently enrolled at Attalla Elementary, Etowah Middle, or Etowah High, he/she is a returning student.

A new student is one that was not enrolled on the last day of school with Attalla City Schools. If your child is enrolled in a school outside of Attalla City Schools or has never attended school, he/she is a new student. If your child attended Attalla City Schools but moved to another school prior to the end of the school year, he/she is a new student.

If you do not have access to a computer or mobile device (smart phone, tablet, etc) to complete online registration, please contact the school where your student will be enrolled next year.

Students are not officially enrolled until all documentation has been verified by the local school registrar. If a student is out-of-district, the principal must grant approval before the student is officially enrolled.

Students who are not registered through the PowerSchool Enrollment portal may not be permitted to class until the registration process is complete.

LEGAL CUSTODY DEFINITION Only the parent of record, legal guardian or parent with court approved custody shall be recognized and considered to be the legally authorized person in any school related matters pertaining to an individual student. The school system will afford a natural parent(s) of record the right that the Family Education Right and Privacy Act of 1974 affords him/her unless the court or a responsible party has provided the school system with a legal binding document that specifically revokes or extinguishes the parent(s)’ of record right to have knowledge of and participate in the child’s schooling. We do not accept custody papers that have ONLY been notarized. When the parent of record enrolls a student in school,the principal should be notified of any completed or pending legal action affecting the family and of any previous placement or expulsion at any school. The principal should be given a copy of the most recent court order creating or limiting the rights of the non-custodial parent(s) of record. Should neither parent(s) of record file a court order with the school, the school presumes that the person who enrolls the child in school is the custodial parent and that there are no restrictions on the other parent’s rights.the school presumes that the person who enrolls the child in school is the custodial parent and that there are no restrictions on the other parent’s rights.
