Enrollment/Registration

Student Registration

Welcome to Radford City Public Schools! We are excited to welcome your family to the Bobcat community.

Radford City Public Schools now uses PowerSchool Enrollment for online student registration. Whether you are registering a new student or updating information for a returning student, the process can be completed securely online.

Before you begin: Parents and guardians will be required to create an Enrollment account the first time they use the system. This account allows you to save, complete, and securely submit your student's registration information.

Who Is Eligible to Enroll?

Children who are residents of the City of Radford and meet the age requirements established by the Commonwealth of Virginia are eligible to attend Radford City Public Schools.

Returning Student Registration

Families of currently enrolled students will complete an annual registration update through PowerSchool Enrollment.
