PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Dr. Willie Adkinson
Principal

Both new student registration and annual returning student updates may be completed online. The online returning student annual verification process replaces all of the paper forms that have traditionally been sent home at the beginning of each school year and ensures the information is updated in a more timely manner.
Online registration is for NEW students enrolling in Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Burke County Public Schools requires all parents/legal guardians of returning students to complete an online Student Information Update.
