Student Registration Required Documents
Welcome to Gainesville City School System
We are glad you are joining our growing family.
Gainesville City School System has a centralized registration process and does not register students at individual schools. Registration is available online.
Residency shall mean the place where the student lives with a parent, guardian, or other person, unless the student is an emancipated minor. The student must be an occupant of a dwelling located within the school district. Proof of residence in the school district shall be required when a student enrolls and whenever a change of residence occurs, unless the student is homeless. Individual not legally admitted into the country shall not be denied a free public education.
The school system reserves the right to send designated officials to the domicile for the purposes of verifying residency; this shall include any family completing a proof of residency affidavit.
