The Shelby County School District is implementing a new online registration process for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year using an enrollment program called SchoolMint.

 

Who will Use SchoolMint Online Forms?

• Parents of students who are new to the system, including Kindergarten students, will use SchoolMint to enroll their children. (See more detailed Kindergarten information below.)

• Parents of current students will use SchoolMint to register their children for the next school year.

Will Parents Have to Come to the School to Register/Enroll their Child?

Parents can complete the SchoolMint forms from anywhere, but they will still need to come to their child’s school to bring required documents and pay fees.

Parents should plan to do this during scheduled enrollment/registration events. For more information, see our website at www.shelbyed.org. (Registration event dates will be published as they become available.)

What are the Advantages of SchoolMint?

• Forms can be completed from most any online device*, including smartphones
• Parents no longer have to print out forms to bring to the school
• Parents will spend less time at the school Registration events than in past years
• For returning students, some information will be pre-filled, so that parents can confirm correct information and change outdated information

*SchoolMint is a secure website, however, it is never wise to transmit private information over public Wi-Fi networks such as those found in restaurants or other public spaces.

When can You Start Using SchoolMint?

• Parents of new Kindergarten students may begin using SchoolMint enrollment forms on March 13, 2017. Instructions and the link to SchoolMint will be posted on our website.  Keep in mind that enrollment forms are for students who are new to our school system only. Parents should not use enrollment forms for returning students.

• Parents of returning students will receive instructions from their child’s school in mid-April and can begin using SchoolMint to register their child at that time.

• Parents of new, enrolling students who will be in grades 1 – 12, can begin using the SchoolMint enrollment forms beginning in April.

How can I Find Out More?

Additional emails will be sent to keep you informed as we move through spring. You may also visit our website at www.shelbyed.org. Look for the Registration and Enrollment links on our home page.
