Enrolling in school is an important milestone for every child's educational journey, and we are excited to welcome new members to our school community. To make enrollment easy, FSPS provides a streamlined online registration service called PowerSchool. Parents/guardians may pre-register their child for the upcoming school year starting at 8 a.m. on Monday, February 19, 2024. Pre-registration will close at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 31, 2024.
To pre-register for the 2024-2025 school year, follow these steps:
- Click one of the links below to take you to PowerSchool (our online enrollment platform).
- You will be asked to create an account with a username and password.
- IMPORTANT: Write down the username and password you created for future use.
- Follow the instructions to register your child.
Please note, that your child's enrollment is not complete until you submit the documents in-person to the school office or upload the documents to PowerSchool.
What's Next?
After you submit your student's registration online, the record will be processed and reviewed by the school Office Administrative Assistant. Once the review is complete, you will receive an email to schedule your appointment to complete the enrollment process.
Registration information is needed by our district in order to make important decisions regarding staffing at our schools. Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) class-size standards limit the number of children in a classroom for each teacher based on the grade-level of students. Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms are limited to 20 or fewer students. Classrooms of students in Grades 1-3 are limited to 25 students. Classes of students in Grades 4-6 are limited to 28. Because of this, we ask that you promptly and accurately fill out this registration information. Decisions regarding where children attend will be made as soon as possible and are based on seat availability. Transportation for students displaced from their home school due to over enrollment will be provided district transportation.
