FAQs for enrolling students

1. My child is coming from another district that uses Skyward, but my login won’t work?

Skyward does not communicate across districts, so you will need to go to the RCS Skyward Online Enrollment Portal and follow the instructions to create an account for RCS.

 

2.  I have a child that was in RCS previously, but we left, and we are moving back. What do I need to do?

Using your existing RCS Skyward account you will complete a New Student Online Enrollment (NSOE) for the child selecting the new school of attendance.  These accounts will then be merged with the existing inactive account in Skyward.   If you do not remember your account password, call the school where your child last attended or click the forgot login/password link on the Skyward login page.

 

3.  I have a child active in RCS but need to enroll my other child. What do I do?
          Login to your existing RCS Skyward; if you do not know your login information, contact
          the school your child currently attends or click the forgot login/password link on the
          Skyward login page.  Click the New Student Online Enrollment button on the left of the
          screen to complete an application for the other child(ren).
 
4.  We live in RCS currently and are moving to a new address in RCS. What do I do?

Contact your new zoned school and let them know you are moving.  They will ask for proof of residence to proceed with the transfer.

 

5.  How do I know what school my student(s) will attend?

         Go to this website and enter your address.  Rutherford County Schools Zoning. You will

         need to select the level and school year to see the school pop up on the map.

 

6.  I made a parent account to complete the New Student Online Enrollment but cannot remember how to access it. What do I do?
         Contact the school your child will attend; they will need the email address associated with
          the account to look up the login information.
 
7.  I have a parent account but cannot remember the password. What do I do?
         Reach out to your child’s school and they can reset your password or click the forgot
         login/password link on the Skyward login page.
 
8.  I am building a new home in RCS and want my child to attend the new school prior to its completion. What do I do?
