County residents who need to enroll their students in a Fayette County public school can do so through one convenient, centralized location.

The Welcome Center, located at the LaFayette Educational Center in Fayetteville, is a one-stop facility that handles enrollment registrations for all public schools and grade levels, except pre-K that are handled at the individual schools offering the program.

All new students who have never attended a Fayette County school, or any students returning to the county after a previous withdrawal must register through the Welcome Center. Additionally, residents who have moved within the county to a new address need to come to the center to update the change.

When parents go to the center to register their students, they must bring the following documents in order to complete the enrollment process: proof of Fayette County residence – current tax bill, closing statement or current signed lease agreement; a current gas or electric bill displaying customer’s name and address of service; birth certificate; social security card; GA 3300 (Hearing, Vision, Dental Form); GA 3032 or 3231 (Immunization Certificate), the Varicella vaccine and Hepatitis B vaccine are now required for attendance; guardianship papers, if the child does not live with his/her natural parents; photo ID of parent/guardian registering the student; withdrawal form from previous school; transcript and/or report card; emergency contact information and medical information.

The center is open during the regular school year (August-May) Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Fridays 8 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1-4 p.m. Summer hours (June-July) are Monday-Thursday 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
