Registration and Enrollment Procedures

For all new students (PreK - 12th Grade)

All new and returning students must be registered and enrolled through the PowerSchool Enrollment Express process using the online portal. The steps to complete this process are explained below:

Step 1

To begin the registration and enrollment process, a parent or guardian will need to be able to upload clear photos of ALL of the following documents:

  1. parent/guardian's photo ID (proof of residency #1)

  2. a current utility bill showing parent/guardian name and address (dated within the last 60 days) (proof of residency #2)

  3. a mortgage statement or a lease if the parent/guardian is a renter (or a letter from a housing office) (proof of residency #3)

  4. the child's birth certificate

  5. the child's most recent physical and immunization report (must be from within the last 12 months) - this can be faxed from their doctor’s office to 413-776-1685 if the parent/guardian does not have a copy at home

  6. if applicable, copies of any legal/court documentation (i.e. sole custody, legal guardianship, restraining orders, name changes, adoption, etc.)

Step 2

Once the above documents are ready, the parent or guardian must fill out the Pre-Registration Form under the New Student Registration Link and click “submit.” Please Note - Parent or Guardian will have to complete a Pre-Registration Form for each student being registered.  

Once the form is submitted, the parent or guardian will receive a “no-reply” email from Powerschool informing the parent or guardian the Pre-Registration Form has been received and the parent or guardian will receive more information, via email, when the Pre-Registration Form is processed. District officials will review the Pre-Registration Form submitted and approve the submission. Submissions may be rejected if they contain incomplete information, inaccurate information, or duplicate information. Once the submission is approved, the parent or guardian will receive a 2nd  “no-reply” email from PowerSchool regarding New Student Enrollment with step-by-step directions to complete the registration process. Please Note -A valid email address will be required to complete the registration process.

Step 3

The step-by-step directions from the 2nd “no-reply” email from PowerSchool regarding New Student Enrollment noted as Step 1 in email will direct the parent or guardian to create a PowerSchool Parent Portal account. Again, a valid email address is required.

Step 4

Once the parent or guardian’s PowerSchool Parent Portal account has been created, or if the parent or guardian already has a PowerSchool Parent Portal account created, the parent or guardian will link their new student(s) to the account by clicking on Account Preferences and click the Student Tab, click Add.

Step 5

Also noted in 2nd “no-reply” email from PowersSchool regarding New Student Enrollment is Step 2 directing the parent or guardian to complete the required forms listed below (there will be a Forms link on the left navigation menu then Enrollment Tab) and the parent or guardian will complete all 4 Sections (PreK* will have a Background Info Section in addition to these 4 Sections). *Please Note” - ALL Sections need to be completed to complete enrollment:

01. Student Enrollment Form
02. Required Documentation for Registration
(parent or guardian will upload clear photos)
03. Home Language Survey
04. Enrolling Transfer Release Form (if applicable for PreK & Kindergarten)

If you have any difficulty completing any of the required forms above or have any questions or extenuating circumstances about the registration process, please contact the Student Records Specialist or your corresponding Main Office Staff by grade (Brayton Elementary PreK – 2nd) (Colegrove Park Elementary 3rd – 6th) (Drury High School 7th – 12th or Drury High School Guidance Counselors via email:  jhamilton@napsk12.org (Student’s Last Name begins with A-K) or kmorgan@napsk12.org (Student’s Last Name begins with L-Z)).

The student’s start date at the school will be one week after registration has been completed for students in grades K-6 and two weeks after registration has been completed for students in grades 7-12. Registration will have been completed once all documentation has been received by the school. This will allow time for the schools to receive records from sending schools, review assessment data, arrange transportation at the district level, create the student’s schedule, and provide notice to the teachers. 

There will be additional school-specific forms for the parent/guardian to fill out at their child’s school once registration has been completed.

*The PreK Pre-Registration Form is open to students who have turned 3 years old or 4 years old by August 31st and reside in North Adams. PreK Registrations will be accepted based on open slots available. For a slot during the school year, please complete a Pre-Registration Form one (1) month prior to your student turning 3 or 4.
