We welcome all families to enroll in Lorain City Schools. Your first stop is our online student registration system, FinalForms. This will allow you to register your child, provide vital contact information, upload necessary documents, and complete the process from home without visiting our team of registrars.

If you need personalized help, our time registrars will happily assist you during an in-person visit. Schedule your 30 minute appointment per child today HERE.
