• Once logged in, select 'Forms' from the navigation menu on the left-hand side of your screen. This will bring you to a new page that lists all available forms for your selected student. The only forms you need to complete for a new student are in the 'General Forms' tab, listed in blue under the title 'New EWSD Enrollment.' You do not need to fill out any other forms in any other tabs.

• Complete each of the forms listed under 'New EWSD Enrollment,' beginning with - 1) Student Information. After each section, please click the submit button to save your data and advance to the next section. If the form submission was successful, a pop-up window will open thanking you for the submission.

• Save vs. Submit: Along with the 'submit' button is the 'save' button. Use the save button if you aren’t ready to submit the form to the school yet but do not want to re-enter information already filled out. It is recommended that you save a form if you must step away from your computer, as PowerSchool may log you out for inactivity. The Save feature is only available for forms that you have not submitted yet.

• When to Save:

  • You need to step away from the computer
    You do not have all the required information but have filled out some of the information

• When to Submit:

  • You are ready to send the form to the school/District

  • You can check the status of your registration process at any time from the Forms screen in PowerSchool. There is a progress bar for all enrollment forms listed to the far right of the Forms screen.

  • Each form also has a colored leaf next to it, indicating its status. The dark blue leaf means 'Empty' because you have not yet submitted any information. A green leaf means that you have saved some or all the required information.

• Final Review Process: Once you have submitted all of your forms, the CTE registrar will review the information that you have provided. This is so that the registrar can ensure the data is correct before it enters our PowerSchool system.

• The registrar will finish their review within a week and may reach out to you during that time to confirm or adjust the information. From this point onwards, the registrar will be your point of contact if you have any further questions or need support for your new student.
