Burke County New Student Registration and Current Student Information Update
The official New Student Registration page asks families to choose the correct school year before getting started. Current students may also need a separate student information update or confirmation process through the Parent Portal when the district announces it.
For registration, prepare proof of residency, parent/guardian identification, student documents, emergency contact details and health information before beginning. Only upload student documents through official district forms or systems linked from burke.k12.ga.us.
Choose the correct school year
Make sure you are registering for the current or upcoming year before entering student information.
Use official district links only
Do not upload birth certificates, residency proof or health records through unofficial websites.
Update returning student information
Use the Parent Portal when the district requires current student information confirmation.
Burke County PowerSchool Parent Portal: Grades, Attendance and Student Information
The district links PowerSchool Parent Portal for parent access. Parents commonly use it for grades, attendance, assignments and related student information. Because it involves student records, use only the district-linked PowerSchool route before entering credentials.
If you are already enrolled, PowerSchool may also be used for current student information updates when the district announces required confirmations. If your login fails, contact the school office or district support route rather than trying random third-party pages.
Burke County Bus Routes, Bus Stop Requests and Transportation Help
The Transportation page links current bus route information and district transportation resources. Bus questions are usually address-specific and student-specific, so do not rely on an old screenshot or another family’s stop.
If a new bus stop is needed, use the official Bus Stop Request Form when the district provides it. For urgent same-day pickup or dismissal issues, contact the student’s school office too.
Make sure the bus route information matches the current school year.
Student name, school, grade, address and guardian contact help staff route the question.
Never move a child to an unofficial bus stop based only on another parent’s route.
Call the school office if the problem affects pickup, dismissal or student safety today.
Burke County Menus, MySchoolBucks and School Nutrition
The district links Menus and School Nutrition resources from the official website. Use those pages for current meal information, cafeteria department contacts, summer meal notices and nutrition updates instead of relying on old menu screenshots.
For payments, only use district-linked school payment routes such as MySchoolBucks when provided by the district. For allergies, special meal needs or medical diet questions, contact the school office or school nutrition staff directly.

|---|---|---|
| Transcript | ScribOrder / Records & Transcripts | Authorization rules apply, especially for students 18 or older. |
