Please read.

It is almost time to start back to school! Students return to campus on August 7. We would like to encourage parents to act now and avoid back-to-school delays if you need to register your child or if you need to complete the Returning Student Enrollment process.

We have our mobile Parent and Family Resource bus at the Registrar’s Office to allow us to serve more families at the same time and to help provide shelter from the heat.

If you need to register your child as a new student, please visit www.dekalbk12.org for online registration. Then, visit the Registrar’s Office at 24593 AL Hwy 75, Sylvania, AL to submit copies of your documents.

All students in Grades 1-12 must complete the Returning Student Enrollment process. This link is also on www.dekalbk12.org. If you need your child’s access code, which is called a SnapCode, please text 256-899-6100 or email [email protected].

The Registrar’s Office is open Monday- Thursday, 7:00 am-4:00 pm this week, and Monday-Friday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm beginning next week. The office closes from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm daily for lunch.
