Fredericksburg City Public Schools

We're excited to help you begin the enrollment process for your child in Fredericksburg City Public Schools. Before getting started, please use the City of Fredericksburg Elementary Schools Districts Web App to verify that your home address falls within our school district.

Registration for all students in grades K-12 is managed by the Division Registrar, located at:

Walker-Grant Center
210 Ferdinand Street
Fredericksburg, VA 22401

To register for our Preschool Programs, visit the Preschool Registration Portal for more information. Please note that families cannot register for preschool through the Enrollment Express platform.

This site will guide you through everything you need to register your student, including required documents, school zone information, and important timelines.

Before you begin your online registration, please collect the following documents to ensure a smooth process. The paperwork is best submitted electronically, or arrangements can be made to bring paper copies to an appointment. To ensure your child can start school as soon as possible, please be sure all required documents are able to be clearly read and uploaded completely at the time of registration.

To enroll your student(s) at Fredericksburg City Public Schools, you will need to complete the pre-registration process for each student. Only a parent/guardian living at the same address as the student may register and enroll the student. Stepparents cannot register a student on behalf of a biological parent. The biological parent that the student is residing with must register the student. If you have more questions regarding this issue, please contact the FCPS Registrar.

1. To begin, click the button below for New Student Registration, or go to PowerSchool Enrollment Express and complete the pre-registration form. A form will need to be submitted for each student that you are registering.

2. Once your pre-registration form has been accepted, you will receive an email from no-reply@fxbgschools.com confirming that your pre-registration form was approved. It will contain instructions on how to create a PowerSchool account. You will need a PowerSchool (Parent Portal) account in order to complete the registration process. If you do not receive an email within 72 hours, contact the FCPS Registrar at ataylor@cityschools.com for assistance.

3. After you receive the enrollment email, go to fburg.powerschool.com/public to create your Parent Portal account and link your students. You can then complete the registration process in the portal, using the Forms section on the left-hand side. For visuals and more information on this process, please see the Guide to Enrollment Express below.

You will need to upload the documents listed above into the online registration system. Please prepare them in advance. You will need to be able to access these documents on the device you will use for registration. You can save these documents by scanning paper copies, saving PDFs from online accounts, or by taking clear pictures of them.

If your documents are saved on your phone, you will need to email them to yourself or use a cloud-based drive to access them from the device you will use for registration. A computer, laptop, Chromebook, or larger device like an iPad is suggested.

The Central Rappahannock Regional Library in Fredericksburg has public access computers available.

Each item must be submitted while active in the PowerSchool Registration System and before pressing SUBMIT on the final registration screen. You can save your progress and come back later to add information or uploads. However, once you hit the SUBMIT button, the registration system closes and you will not be able to edit information or add documents.

If you need to schedule a virtual appointment to complete your student's registration, click the link below.

After completion, please email them to the FCPS registrar, ataylor@cityschools.com or drop them off at 210 Ferdinand Street, Fredericksburg, VA 22401. Registration office hours are 8:30-11:00 AM or from 1:00-3:00 PM.
