North Atlanta High School Information

 

Registration Info:

 

Hello - The North Atlanta team is eager to prepare Sutton's rising 9th graders for their Freshman Year. Re-registration is an important step in guaranteeing a smooth transition. Please be advised that it is APS's policy that all rising 6th and 9th graders submit current and valid residency documentation. Your student will not receive a schedule, and it may impact their enrollment for SY 25-26 if you fail to submit the residency documentation. Students who aren't registered will not be allowed to attend classes/school until registration documents are submitted and approved. Failure to re-register could also result in students' not getting into their top choice electives for the school year. 

 

Our goal is to have all of Sutton's rising 9th graders re-registered before the Summer Break. Please visit the following APS site for details on the rising 9th grade registration process:  https://sites.google.com/apsk12.org/osar/enrollment-registration/rising-6th-9th-grademoving-students
