Welcome to Hamilton Community Schools Registration

Hamilton Community Schools provides online registration for both new and returning students through PowerSchool. This page includes the links and resources families need to complete the enrollment and registration process.

Important – Housing Questionnaire / McKinney-Vento Support

All families must complete the Housing Questionnaire as part of student registration. This form helps the district identify students who may qualify for additional services under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.

Students may qualify if they do not have a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This may include students temporarily staying with relatives or friends due to loss of housing or economic hardship, living in a motel, shelter, campground, car, or another temporary housing arrangement.

If this situation applies to your family, please continue the enrollment process and contact your school office or the district McKinney-Vento liaison for assistance. Eligible students have the right to immediate enrollment even if records normally required for enrollment are not yet available.

For New Students

New Student Enrollment and Registration at Hamilton Community Schools is a three-step process:

Step 1: Complete Pre-Registration
 Please complete the New Student Pre-Registration form.

Enrollment staff will review your student's enrollment form and, upon acceptance, send an email with instructions for completing the next steps.

Step 2: Home Language Survey (if applicable)
If your student is new to Indiana or enrolling in an Indiana school for the first time, please contact Hamilton Elementary School (260-488-2101) or Hamilton Jr./Sr. High School (260-488-2161) to complete a Home Language Survey. This is a required step for enrollment in Indiana public schools.

Step 3: Complete Registration
Parents must create a PowerSchool Parent Portal account and associate their student with it, as outlined in the instructions emailed from Step 1. Once logged in, choose the Forms option and complete all required forms.

Parents can use either the web-based Parent Portal or the PowerSchool mobile app to complete student forms.
