Parents and guardians have several options when enrolling their children into Providence Schools:
 

• Online pre-registration 

  Click “register here”.  All requirements must be scanned and uploaded to the application.  Registrations submitted without requirements will not be processed.  A team member will follow up with a phone call to process the registration.  
  
  

  Translating Skyward, the student registration and information system, into another language:

  1. Use Chrome Browser
  2. Go to any page in Skyward and right-click using your mouse or touchpad. The option to translate will show up in the menu.
  3. If you don't see your chosen language as an option, you may need to click on the three stacked dots to the right to see language options.
  4. You will need to do this for every page you visit.​ Not working? Please visit this page for a video tutorial and further instructions.

• Email registration

  Send your registration documents to inforeg@ppsd.org.  Copies of the requirements must be scanned and attached to the email.  The email must contain the name and date of birth of the student, as well as contact information for the parent/guardian i.e. a working telephone number.  A team member will follow up with a phone call to process the registration.

• Drop-off registration 

  Hard copy registrations are received at 325 Ocean St, Providence, RI 02905.  Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.  If you are registering multiple students, we suggest submissions are done as early as 1:00 p.m. to allow sufficient processing time. A team member will screen all requirements including immunizations.  Once the application has been deemed to have met all requirements, it will be placed in a call-back queue and a team member will follow up to process the registration with a phone call.  Applications are processed in the order they are received.

Important: When you register using the pre-registration portal, you may be asked to upload copies of some key documents. Please scan or take a picture of these documents with your phone and upload them to the pre-registration portal. 

 **Please note that some students may require testing to complete the registration process.
