The secure registration portal typically opens each year in mid-July for grades K-12. The entire registration process can be completed online at your convenience. Please note that the parent/guardian who completes the new student online registration will need to have a valid email account. If you do not have an email address, you can create one using this Google link.

This registration is for new students. A new student is considered any student who does not currently have a Bossier Schools enrollment. If school is currently not in session (summer), this also includes any student that did not complete the previous school year at a Bossier Parish school.

Note: If your child will be riding a Bossier School Bus either to or from school, please indicate in the “Transportation” portion of annual registration. This information is critical to ensure that your child is properly assigned to a bus.
