Online Registration

Online registration (OLR) to enroll for the remainder of the current school year is available for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade and Head Start. Head Start parents/guardians must first visit Head Start's website for a specific Application for Enrollment before proceeding to OLR. Please visit the Online Registration Site site to register for the remainder of the school year.

OLR is not currently available for “Open Enrollment/Transfers”, this must still be processed with the Office of Demographics and Planning.

Stafford County Public Schools uses Synergy’s Student Information System Parent Portal as a method of pre-registering new students to their zoned schools. Pre-registration allows you to complete a majority of information online. The remaining information required must be provided in person at the zoned school of residence for which you are registering your student(s). Parents/Guardians of students enrolling in Head Start through 12th grade may use this system. If you would like to participate in the online system, please read the instructions.

Online Registration How To Guide

Parents/Guardians with an existing Parent Portal (ParentVUE) account will use your current username and password to login to the Online Registration (OLR) system (OLR - Left window “Login” section). This will allow you to register your additional new student(s). You do not need to register students already enrolled and continuing their next year with Stafford County Public Schools.

New to Stafford, Parents/Guardians without a Parent Portal account will create an account (OLR - Right window “Create a New Account” section). The creation of a new account requires a valid email address.

Current Stafford County Parents/Guardians without a ParentVUE account should contact their current student's school for information on how to activate their ParentVUE account.

Remember, you must complete the enrollment process at the school. Visit Our Schools, to find information or contact numbers from their individual school based website

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I am not seeing an add button, to add my student?

Our family is new to Stafford County. Should I register all my children at once, or start a new pre-registration process for each child?

Should I use the ParentVUE Online Pre-Registration portal to register any of my current Stafford Schools students for the upcoming school year?

What do I do when I receive a message that the email is already in use? I have not activated a ParentVUE Account.

I do not have access to a computer. Do I have to register online?

While it is not required to pre-register online, Stafford Schools is offering this service as an efficiency to parents/legal guardians. Parents may enter as much or as little information in the initial session and return repeatedly to complete the pre-registration. If you wish to fill out a paper registration for your student, visit the Stafford Schools Registration page to download documents and you may also visit your student’s zoned school to obtain registration forms.

Is my pre-registration information kept private and secure?

The ParentVUE Online Pre-Registration portal has a number of features designed to make the system safe and secure for maintaining the registration information. First, the URL begins with https://, rather than the standard http://. This indicates that the information contained on that page is secure and encrypted. Always be sure to keep your password confidential and to logout of the system.

I am having difficulty entering my home address.

Address Validation

The ParentVUE Online Pre-Registration portal goes through an address validation procedure as the home address is entered. The green checkmark that appears indicates that the entered address is within a Stafford Schools attendance zone. It is important to enter the appropriate information into each field so that the address may be validated.

Common Issues to Avoid

Entering the street type (Court, Place, Avenue, etc.) in the Street field; this part of the address should be entered in the Type field.Entering direction (S, SE, N, NE etc.) in the Street field; this part of the address should be entered in either the Direction or Post Direction fields.

If your home address fails to be validated, you may not use the ParentVUE Online Registration portal. Please contact your zoned school to schedule an appointment to register your child. Visit the Stafford Schools Registration page to download registration forms or obtain them from your zoned school.
