Frequently Asked Questions About Registration:

Do I have to online register for 24/25 school year? Yes, register your student at using your Parent Vue account information. Paper registration will not be available. 

Who can register a student? Only the legal guardian with educational rights can register a student. 

I don’t know my Parent Vue information?  Contact the school where your student is currently enrolled for assistance.  EA Cox can only see information for our current students. 

I’m in the OLR but I can’t get to the 24/25 school year? Delete any pending or “in-progress” registrations for the 23/24 school year.   

I can’t proceed to the next section? All * items must be answered 

OLR says complete but the school is telling me it didn’t go through?  You must complete ALL the sections, REVIEW & SUBMIT for the registration to process. 

It says documents are required; can I bring them to school instead of uploading them? Yes, hard copies are accepted at school.  Registrations without completed documents will not be processed. 

I gave documents last year – do I need to give them again? Yes – due to rezoning, all guardians are required to submit current proof of residency for the new school year.  3 proofs of your current address in the guardian's name will be required. Any combination of utility bills within the last 30 days, current lease, property tax card, property insurance, etc. that shows the address will be accepted.   

Proof of residency is not in my name, what do I do?  You must have a notarized letter from the current resident stating you are living at the address listed.  3 proofs of residency will still be required in the current resident’s name. 

Do I have to submit a birth certificate? Yes, only if your student is new to EA Cox.  If your student is returning to EA Cox, we should already have one on file. 

Do I have to submit proof of immunizations? Yes, only if your student is new to EA Cox OR if your student is going into the 7th grade, as new immunizations are required by state law.  New students & 7th graders that do not have the TN Dept of Health Immunization certificate will not be allowed to attend classes in August.   

Do I have to provide custody paperwork?  Yes, if you have a parenting plan, sole custody, guardianship, power of attorney or something else that would prohibit a biological parent from being a part of the student’s education.  If you have paperwork authorizing someone who is not the biological parent access to the student’s education or care – we must have a current copy. 

I’ve given legal paperwork before; do I have to submit it again? Yes, submit the most current and up to date information available at the beginning of every school year & any other changes that may occur during the school year. 

How will I know what bus my student rides? Transportation information will be sent out over the summer. Bus information will only be for the student's resident address. If there is a day that your student needs to ride a bus to an alternate location – a request each day must be made in writing stating the different address & reason for change.  Requests must be approved before taking effect.   

How do I know if my student is registered at EA Cox? Once OLR is submitted, we will review the registration and email the guardian if registration is complete or if it is pending document review.  If registration is pending – documents should be submitted as soon as possible to complete the process.
