School Registration 2012

School registration will be held for all Aynor area schools (Aynor High, Aynor Middle, Aynor Elementary, Midland Elementary) on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 in the Aynor High School Gymnasium. The times for registration will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Registration packets from Aynor High School will be mailed this week (July 23). Parents also have an option this year of registering their child/children online instead of coming to the school gymnasium (NOTE: the online registration option is for high school students only). For access to the online registration and for more information on this option, click here: Online School Registration Information. If parents choose the online option, they will be able to pay the student activity fee ($10) and the student parking fee ($20) online. Any additional fees would need to be paid at the school. For parents choosing to attend the registration day in person on July 31, please make sure to complete the entire registration packet and bring it to the school on this day.

Online Registration Option Available for Aynor High Parents

Horry County Schools will launch online registration for students in grades 9-12 for the upcoming 2012-2013 school year. This new feature lets parents enroll their child from any location where they have Internet access, saving them from waiting in lines and taking time away from work. Parents will be able to update information without filling out multiple forms and they can be guaranteed that their information is safe and protected with the highest standards for security. By registering online, parents can help make the registration process “green” by saving paper. Read more about HCS Registration by clicking here: Online School Registration Information.
