Returning Student Registration

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If your child is not currently enrolled in a Berkeley County School, please note that you should complete the New Student Registration form.

Welcome back BCSD families! To ensure a smooth start for the upcoming school year, Berkeley County School District requires all parents/legal guardians of returning students to complete an Online Returning Student Registration through the PowerSchool Parent Portal.

  • This mandatory process includes providing two proofs of residency and is essential for reviewing and updating contact information, submitting required annual forms, and providing transportation details.

  • Families needing assistance with creating a PowerSchool Parent Portal account or have forgotten their username or password, should contact your student’s school.

  • For those without internet access or unable to register online, please contact the school to arrange a date and time to complete the registration in-person.

To get started, parents/legal guardians with a Parent Portal account can access the Returning Student Registration by clicking the POWERSCHOOL PARENT PORTAL button below. For more information about PowerSchool Parent Portal, please visit our Parent Portal Resources page.
