PowerSchool Enrollment

Once you have created your Parent Portal account, you may begin your child’s enrollment.  You will be asked to complete several sections.

Select Your Enrollment Type

Select Grade

Select the grade your child will be entering on their first day of school in the Mount Vernon City School District.

• Student Information
   
• Student Demographics
   
• Transportation: indicate whether bus transportation is required (note: transportation is not provided for open enrollment students).
   
• Custody: In this section, indicate the student’s legal guardian. In Ohio, a legal guardian may be a biological or adoptive parent, or an individual appointed by a court who has been granted legal responsibility for the child. A legal guardian has the authority to make decisions regarding the child’s education, healthcare, and overall welfare.
   
• Contacts: In this section, list only the student’s biological parent(s), adoptive parent(s), court-appointed legal guardian(s), or court-designated legal custodian(s). Do not include individuals who do not have legal custodial rights.
   
• Emergency Contacts: In this section, provide the names and phone numbers of trusted adults the school may contact in the event of an emergency if a parent or guardian cannot be reached. Please indicate whether each emergency contact is authorized to pick up the student from school. Do not repeat any parent or guardian already listed in the contacts section.
   
• Immunization History: Upload the student’s immunization history.
   
• Medical:  During the enrollment process, you will be asked to provide information regarding your child’s relevant medical history, diagnosed medical conditions, current medications, allergies, and any existing health care plans. Please include only medical conditions that have been formally diagnosed by a licensed medical professional.
   
• Prescriptions: If medication is to be administered at school, the required medication authorization form must be completed by the student’s physician. The parent or guardian, only, must submit the completed form to the school office along with the medication. 
   
• Agreements:  This section authorizes your student to use school technology and includes acknowledgment of having read the school’s student handbook. It also covers internet and media release permissions (including photographs, videos, and intellectual property), field trip permission, and the use of student devices.
   
• Documents: This section is where you will upload required documents, including immunization records, the student's health record (a form will be provided for you to download and complete), a parent/guardian state-issued ID, the student’s birth certificate, and proof of residency.
   
• Signature
   
• Summary: The summary page will provide feedback and notify you if any information is missing from the application. A red circled number will appear next to the section indicating the number of incomplete items. Click on the section name to return to that area and make the necessary corrections.
