Registration: This year EVERY CCSD student is required to reregister and submit updated documentation in our PS Enrollment system. Parents will do this through their parent portal account. If you do not remember your account information Please follow the directions below. If you have any questions, please email them to Mrs. Sue at Susanf_Williams@charleston.k12.sc.us.

New student registration does not go through your portal account. You will need to follow the new s student registration directions below.

School Supplies: I cannot believe I am even saying this, but you can purchase supplies for the 2022 - 2023 school year online now. Why wait until August, when you can literally "get it and forget it." Just visit schooltoolbox.com and search Mount Pleasant Academy (there are 2 so make sure you have the right one). Once you've ordered the supplies, you can just relax until school starts. The supplies will be in your child's classroom on the first day of school. It's that easy.

Student Placement Requests: The Google Form linked below is designed to give parents a place to share unique concerns regarding their child’s academic performance or social/emotional health that could affect his/her class placement. We know our teachers well and use your insight into your child to find the best match. I encourage you to share your child's needs here. This form also allows parents to make sibling requests. We do not automatically place children with their sibling's former teachers. Please share this form with your friends or neighbors who are planning to enroll their children for the upcoming school year.

Birth Certificate/Proof of Age:

Birth certificate, passport (page containing name and date of birth), hospital or physician’s certificate showing date of birth, adoption records, driver's license, learner's permit are acceptable forms of proof of age. For children born abroad of a parent or parents who are U.S. citizens, any official government document issued by a U.S. federal agency or service is acceptable. If you are unable to produce any of the documents listed above, please contact the enrollment school.

All other returning students will complete the registration form located in the Parent Portal.

If your child is new to CCSD schools, you will complete the online registration by selecting the appropriate link below. You will have the option to upload your documentation to the school through the registration process. See required documentation list.

It would also be helpful to have the following information on hand during the registration process:

• Your child's previous school's name and city, if applicable.
• Two additional contacts in the event that the school cannot reach the parents.
• Physician and dentist name and phone number.

Should I create an account?

No, but some questions are marked "Required" and must be answered before you can submit your form.

If you would like to make a change, prior to submitting the form, you can either navigate back to the page using the “< Prev” and “Next >” buttons. Or if you are on the Review page, click on the underlined field. If you have already submitted the form, then you will need to contact your student’s school, so they can make the changes for you.

If you continue to experience issues please EMAIL Mrs. Sue at Susanf_Williams@charleston.k12.sc.us for support.

Once you have finished entering your information, click “Submit.” This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school.

Check to be sure you do not have any extra spaces within the field.

Yes, because you’ll need to provide information that is specific for each child. We recommend that you complete and submit one form and then start another – this will allow you to share selected family information, which saves you time.
