Incoming Freshman Registration for the 2026-2027 School Year

It's that time of the year! Enrolling your freshman is an adventure filled with excitement, nerves, and a checklist of must-do's.  At Galt High School, we understand the significance of this event and strive to make the process as seamless as possible. To assist you in registering your incoming freshman for the 2026-2027 academic year, we have put together a timeline of essential events, dates, and resources to ensure a smooth transition. This information will provide you with details to make the registration process more accessible.

All enrollment is done electronically using our Student Data System, PowerSchool.  This is an online tool that provides the district with all the necessary information to start a student's enrollment.  This process requires the parent/legal guardian to create an account and input student and parent information along with the required documentation. While this tool can be accessed via a computer or phone, we strongly recommend using a computer. 

Please follow the important steps below to enroll your student.
