All South Putnam Schools will be doing online registration again this year. Parents can register from any computer that has the Internet, by coming to the building of their choice during registration times or at the Putnam County Fair.

South Putnam Community Schools will open the 2012-13 school year on Monday, Aug. 13, for students in kindergarten through grade 12. All kindergarten students must be five years old on or before Aug. 1 to be eligible to enroll.

Students will be in attendance all day on the Aug. 13 and lunch will be served.

New students will need a copy of their birth certificate and immunization records. Proof of legal guardianship may be required.

Student enrollment and book rental will be over two days at Central Elementary and Fillmore Elementary. It will run noon-7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2 and from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3.

There will be no regular registration day for the middle school or high school, it will all be done online.

Below are the following three ways to register students online, including elementary students.

1. Register online in the privacy of your own home.

2. The high school computer lab is now open through July 19 from 7 a.m.-3 p.m.

The lab will again be open from July 30-Aug. 3, 7 a.m.-3 p.m.

The technology staff will be there for any technical assistance.

On these dates, the high school computer lab will be open for parents of elementary, middle or high school students.

Registration requires students' Harmony user names and passwords. Parents without user names may locate the access form at www.sputnam.k12.in.us under the registration information.

All mandatory state and corporation forms are included in the online registration. In addition, parents may also access optional forms that can be printed and returned to the school.

Parents will be able to pay online this year by using a credit ordebit card.

For parents who may qualify for free and reduced lunches and textbooks, applications are available on the website or can be picked up at either the corporation office or the middle school/high school.

To save time during the registration process, parents are encouraged to download the application and return it in advance to the office, the school or to the fair.
