PreK and Kindergarten Registration for Fall 2026
Let’s get registered for PreK and kindergarten!
If your child is currently in one of our school PreK programs, you’ll use this Returning Student link to register for Kindergarten. You will need your child’s “snapcode” - a special password sent by the school- to start the registration. Snapcodes were emailed and sent home with current PreK students. https://registration.powerschool.com/family/gosnap.aspx?action=46332&culture=en
If your child has never attended school with us before, they’ll complete the New Student form found here for both incoming PreK and K students: https://registration.powerschool.com/family/gosnap.aspx?action=46458&culture=en
**Only PreK students selected in the random drawing should complete this form.
Documents needed for new students:
Birth certificate
AL Immunization Form
Two proofs of residency
Parent/Guardian Photo ID
Cooy of custody papers (if applicable)

Attendance Counts!
Did you know that students are considered "chronically absent" if they miss 18 or more days of school in one school year, even if the absences are excused? Our schools are graded on a statewide report card, and one of the grading categories is attendance. You may check your child's number of absences in the PowerSchool Parent Portal anytime. Please email admin@cherokeek12.org if you need your login information for the parent portal.
