New Student Registration Home

We welcome you and your child to the Carmel Central School District! Students must live within the boundaries of the Carmel Central School District and meet state age and health requirements. We have one high school, one middle school and three elementary schools. Students are assigned to an elementary school based on their address of residence. Please see our District-Assigned Roads guide to determine which elementary school your child will attend.

You will need a ParentVUE account to access our online registration portal to register for Kindergarten through Grade 12.
