Enrollment
Isle of Wight County Schools has transitioned from school-based registrars to a Central Registrar model. This change is designed to streamline our registration process, ensure consistency across the district, and better serve our families.
What This Means:
-
-
- All student registrations will now be reviewed, processed, and approved by a Central Registrar.
- Families may submit required documents electronically or schedule an in-person appointment with the Central Registrar to complete the process.
- School sites will no longer manage student registration directly.

Enrollment FAQs
How old does my child need to be to enter kindergarten?
Students must be 5 years old by September 30 to enter school. If your child turns 5 after September 30, they are not eligible for kindergarten until the following year.
Which school will my child attend?
The Isle of Wight County School Division is divided into 2 middle and high school zones and 5 elementary school zones. To determine which school your child will attend, zoning maps are available. After inputting an Isle of Wight address, school attendance zones will be listed. Before buying or renting a home in Isle of Wight County, please be advised that attendance zones may be modified to address school capacity issues.
How do I register my child for school?
Parents/Guardians can start the registration process by completing a Online Registration Form. The Parent/Guardian will have the option to upload all required supporting documentation or they can schedule an appointment with the Central Registrar.
