Enrolling Students

  • Kindergarten - 12th Grade

    Registration is open for students who will be entering Frederick County Public Schools in the 2023-24 school year. 

    Step 1: Please call the registrar at the school the student will attend to schedule a registration appointment or to start the registration process remotely.
