Memo Text

The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education Office of Public School Accountability would like to announce the opening of the 9th implementation phase of the online enrollment application, PowerSchool Enrollment (PSE).  School districts interested in implementing PowerSchool Enrollment may apply to participate in this phase.

PowerSchool Enrollment is an online student registration tool that enables parents and guardians to register their student(s) by completing an online registration form that has document upload capabilities such as birth certificate, proof of residency, shot records, home language survey, and more. The system allows both new and returning students' information to be submitted electronically, reducing duplicative paper-based processes. Once verified by district personnel, enrollment information is uploaded into eSchoolPlus.

There will be an opportunity for districts to use the Enrollment product’s New Student form beginning in the pre-registration timeframe for kindergarten registration in February, 2027. The Returning Student form can be used shortly after the district’s eSchool database has completed the rollover process at the end of the school year. To be considered, please complete the online form (click here) by October 16, 2026.  Applying districts will be required to adhere to specific guidelines (see attached fact-sheet) and processes to ensure a successful implementation of the Enrollment application.

There will be required training sessions for key district personnel, documentation requirements, district communication plans for parents/community, and additional support components to assist with a smooth transition to this online process. Due to the increased workload for transitioning schools to PSE, there will be a limited number of slots available for districts so, if interested, please apply early.

APSCN will notify the district contact person identified on the application form of the district's application status by October 23, 2026.

Districts currently utilizing the Enrollment application must complete the Enrollment Renewal Form (click here) no later than November 18, 2026, to indicate their intent to continue using the application.  If a Enrollment Renewal Form is not received, the district's forms and access will be removed.
