GASTONIA, N.C. – Gaston County Schools is taking its student enrollment process on the road to make it more convenient for families to register their children for school. Representatives will be at four community locations over the next two weeks to conduct the school district’s “Student Enrollment Blitz.”

The community locations, dates, and times are listed below:

  • Monday, July 15, Erwin Center, 913 N. Pryor Street, Gastonia, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
  • Wednesday, July 17, Creekside Estates, 204 Chinook Road, Bessemer City, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
  • Monday, July 22, Dallas Gym, 208 W. Church Street, Dallas, 10 a.m. - 3p.m.
  • Wednesday, July 24, Lineberger Park, 632 E. Garrison Blvd., Gastonia, 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

To register at one of the “Student Enrollment Blitz” locations, parents/guardians should bring their ID along with a copy of their child’s birth certificate and health records, and two proofs of residence. No appointment is needed. When participants arrive at the “Blitz” location, they should look for the Gaston County Schools registration tents and an activity school bus.

The “Student Enrollment Blitz” concept is designed to take the registration process into communities rather than having families come to the Student Assignment Office in Gastonia or complete enrollment online. Additionally, the “Blitz” is a way for families to take care of enrollment now instead of in August prior to the start of school when in-person and online enrollment is busy. Registering early also makes it easier for schools when assigning students to classes and planning for the first day, which is Wednesday, August 14.

If families cannot make it to one of the “Blitz” events, they can still register in person and online ( www.gaston.k12.nc.us – click on the “How to Enroll” tab). In-person registration takes place at the Student Assignment Office, which is located at the former Forest Heights Elementary School in Gastonia. The office is open Monday - Thursday from 7 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. (closed on Friday) now through July 26. Regular business hours (Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.) resume on July 29. For more information about student registration, call the Student Assignment Office, (704) 810-7284.

Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Registration

Gaston county schools conducting online registration for kindergarten and pre-kindergarten.

It’s time for kindergarten and pre-kindergarten registration in Gaston County Schools! Because of the coronavirus pandemic, parents are asked to complete the registration process online.

■  Kindergarten Registration For kindergarten, a child must be five years old on or before August 31, 2020. Parents should register online:  www.gaston.k12.nc.us/ kindergartenregistration

Parents/guardians must provide the following to register for kindergarten:

▪ Birth certificate or proof of parentage ▪ Valid ID of parent/guardian who is registering the child ▪ Two proofs of current address (such as power, water, gas, cable, internet, or landline telephone bills, lease, or mortgage) ▪ An up-to-date immunization/shot record ▪ Health assessment form completed on or after August 26, 2019 by a certified health care professional

Kindergarten registration continues throughout the summer, but parents are encouraged to go ahead and register now, which helps our elementary schools with planning for next year.

■  Pre-Kindergarten Registration For pre-kindergarten, a child must be four years old on or before August 31, 2020. Parents should register online:  www.gaston.k12.nc.us/ prekindergarten

Parents/guardians must provide the following to register for pre-kindergarten:

▪ Birth certificate or proof of parentage ▪ Valid ID of parent/guardian who is registering the child ▪ Two proofs of current address (such as power, water, gas, cable, internet, or landline telephone bills, lease, or mortgage) ▪ An up-to-date immunization/shot record ▪ Health assessment form completed on or after August 26, 2019 by a certified health care professional ▪ Proof of income for the parent/guardian living in the home with the child (a recent check stub is preferred).

Pre-kindergarten is offered at various school and community locations across Gaston County. Parents are reminded that registering a child for pre-kindergarten does not guarantee that the child will be placed in the program. The district has limited pre-kindergarten space at each location. The deadline to apply for pre-kindergarten is June 15.

Additional information about kindergarten and pre-kindergarten registration is available on the Gaston County Schools website,  www.gaston.k12.nc.us  – click the “How to Enroll” tab.

Parents may call the Student Assignment Office for information about kindergarten registration, (704) 810-7284.  For pre-kindergarten information, parents may call the Pre-Kindergarten Office, (704) 866-6124.
