New to SPS?

Online enrollment enables parents or guardians to submit an application to enroll a student new to Springfield Public Schools. Online enrollment does not replace the need to go to the school to complete the registration process, but it does allow the form to be submitted electronically, which reduces paperwork and makes the process more efficient. The first step is to create an account. Click on the red button labeled "Enroll Online" then choose "Register New Account." Register now.
