Welcome New Tigers & Panthers!
-
Families move into the Pickerington Schools district throughout the year. We are prepared to welcome new Tigers and Panthers throughout the year. Our Welcome Center gives families a central location to answer questions, provide district information, and process online registrations. Online registration for incoming kindergarten students begins in March for the following school year.
Pickerington Schools uses an online registration form to process new-to-Pickerington Schools student registrations. Registration must be completed by a parent or legal guardian who lives with the student within the Pickerington Schools district.
If you are a current Pickerington Schools family with an active Infinite Campus Parent account, please go to your account to register your child.

Annual Student Update

Annual Student Update
Each school year, parents are asked to update and submit the required “Back to School Forms” for their student(s). These include:
- Emergency Medical Authorization
- Student Handbook Acknowledgement
- Device Agreement
- Technology Protection Plan
- Field Trip Authorization Form
The Annual Update is live on Infinite Campus Parent Portal starting in July.
Please review and update your student’s information by logging into your Infinite Campus Parent Portal and completing the Annual Update. Most of the information will be pre-populated for you and you will simply double-check that the information is still accurate.
The Emergency Medical Form will require you to review and make necessary changes prior to submitting it.
Please do not complete the Annual Update until you are notified to do so. If you complete the annual update prior to then, you may be asked to complete it again as the forms do not update until we officially end the academic calendar year on June 30.
Change of Address
