Enrollment

The Lancaster School District utilizes an online enrollment system called Smart Choice to allow parents to enroll their students via computer or from a phone/tablet. In addition, enrollment can be done in person with our Welcome and Wellness Center specialists or at the school the student will be attending. 

If you need to update registation for the current school year (re-register a returning student), it will still be done through Smart Choice. More information about re-registration here.
