In-school registration for the 2018-19 school year will be held Friday, July 27, and Monday, July 30, at all 48 Fort Wayne Community Schools elementary, middle and high schools. Parents can visit their child’s school from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Friday or from noon to 7 p.m. Monday to get ready for the new school year. In addition, new families can visit the Family and Community Engagement Center, 230 E. Douglas Ave., from 9 a.m.-noon on Saturday, July 28.

Current families who took advantage of the online pre-registration will be able to access the Rapid Registration line to get through in-school registration faster. In-school registration is still required to process address verification, as well as provide student IDs, PTA sign-up, yearbook and PE uniform orders and other services that are not yet available online.

Families unable to attend the scheduled registration dates can contact their child’s school to make other arrangements prior to the first day of school, which is Tuesday, Aug. 14.

Because of construction, two schools have had to relocate for registration:

  • St. Joseph Central registration will be at Jefferson Middle School, 5303 Wheelock Road
  • Lane Middle School registration will be at Snider High School, 4600 Fairlawn Pass.
