College Park Elementary School

06/04/2026

Today we took time to celebrate some very special members of our College Park family, Mrs. Whatley, Mrs. Wilburn, and Mrs. Griffin as they begin exciting new chapters in their careers. While we are sad to see them go, we are grateful for the impact they have made on our students, staff, and school community, and we wish them nothing but success as they move on to do great things at other schools.

We also honored Mrs. Sparks as she begins her well-earned retirement after 29 years of dedicated service in education. Her commitment, compassion, and countless contributions have touched the lives of so many students, families, and colleagues throughout her career.

Thank you to each of these incredible educators for the difference you have made. Once a part of the College Park family, always a part of the College Park family. We wish you all the very best in the journey ahead! ❤️🎉

Dear Parents and Guardians,

One of the Pascagoula-Gautier School District's most recent accomplishments is our transition to a fully online student registration process. This move allows families to complete registration more conveniently from home while helping the district improve efficiency, accuracy, and communication. Online registration also enables us to better plan for staffing, transportation, scheduling, and student services well in advance of the school year.

Registering your child on time is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure a smooth start to the school year. Early registration helps schools prepare class schedules, assign teachers, arrange transportation routes, and ensure that all necessary resources are in place before students arrive on the first day of school.

At this time, only 56% of our students have been registered for the upcoming school year. We appreciate the families who have already completed the process and encourage all others to do so as soon as registration reopens.

While registration is currently closed as we prepare for the next phase of enrollment, online registration will reopen on June 15, 2026, for new students to the district and for returning students who have not yet completed registration.

Please be aware that there will not be designated face to face registration days this year. All registration will be completed through the district's online registration system.

We understand that some families may need assistance navigating the online process. To support those families, the district is currently planning registration help days and assistance locations where staff will be available to provide technical support and answer questions. These sessions are designed to help families complete the online registration process and should not be confused with traditional face to face registration. Additional information regarding dates, times, and locations will be shared soon.

Thank you for partnering with us as we continue working to make Pascagoula-Gautier School District the district of choice for students, staff, and families. Your timely attention to registration helps us provide the best possible educational experience for every child.

Together, we remain committed to our mission of preparing Learners Today, Leaders Tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Dr. Caterria B. Payton
Superintendent
Pascagoula-Gautier School District
