District

E-Registration for 2021-2022

E-Registration will be available starting Tuesday, July 28

Parents/Guardians,

In order to provide a more flexible and cost effective approach to student registration, Central Decatur is requiring an online enrollment process. Beginning July 27, it will be possible to register (and pay school fees) for the 2021-22 school year online.

Central Decatur eRegistration is accessed through family PowerSchool accounts, which every family with students enrolled at Central Decatur needs to have set up. The eRegistration process is required to be completed annually by all families so we have the most up-to-date information on students including but not limited to: parent/guardian contact information, health information, emergency contact information, and parental permissions. If your family has never enrolled at Central Decatur please pre-enroll at the New Families link below. If your students have attended Central Decatur at any time, please use the Returning Families link to update your student’s/family’s information.

To begin the registration process, please sign with the appropriate link.

  • This will take you to your PowerSchool Parent Portal. Once logged in, click on the Forms link on the left, then click on the Enrollment tab. Click on the link for the first form and complete all of the forms. When you finish form #1 it should automatically take you to form #2 and so on.
  • When you have finished with the forms please check for messages in the School Bulletin.

Please make sure your data is accurate. It is critical that the data on file is up to date in PowerSchool. It’s through the eRegistration process that the district gathers this updated information. If your information changes at any time throughout the year, you can return to the Parent Portal and change the data in any of the enrollment forms. Please understand that any changes to your data are subject to approval by Central Decatur office staff and that that approval might not happen immediately. It is very important that all families follow the directions for Contact Update below. This will show you how to put the contacts in the order to which you want phone calls made in the event there is an emergency.
