Welcome to the School District of Manatee County.  Our registration process is online!

Step 1 - Beginning March 1st, 2024 all students, whether new or returning to the district, will register using the Online Focus Registration System.  For next year’s enrollment, we strongly encourage you to register during May and June to avoid late summer delays. Please follow the links below depending on your situation.

Existing FOCUS Account or prior Manatee School District: Contact Registration to create the online application in Focus.

New Students and Parents: This is for families who do not have a Focus account and have never enrolled a student in Manatee County. 

Step 2 - Once your student(s) information has been verified by the District, our Registration Department will send you a confirmation email. It will include detailed information about the next step.

Step 3 - Navigate back to the registration page.  Then look for our curriculum guide and course registration forms.

Step 4 – All enrollment will be completed online.  If you would like to come in to use our kiosk to complete your student’s enrollment, you will need to make an appointment with the registrar.  Make sure you have the required paperwork indicated on the Registration Checklist.  Having required paperwork with you at your appointment will make the enrollment process much faster and easier.

Step 5 - Once your enrollment is complete, please visit the district's Register to Ride webpage to setup bus transportation.  All bus riders must register and be assigned to a bus prior to riding.
