​

Click here for the Spring 2024 Pre-Registration Session Flyer and RSVP link 

 

Students/Parents who do not attend one of these sessions will not select classes until August.

 

Please note that these pre-registration sessions are separate from and do not include the enrollment process that needs to take place with the registrar’s office. Students will not be registered in any North Atlanta courses until the enrollment process has been completed with the NAHS registrar over the summer. This will help to prevent students/parents from having to wait until August to select classes and make for a smoother and seamless start to the new school year.

 

Once the enrollment process is complete, the classes pre-selected in March can be entered to create the student’s schedule. We will do our best to accommodate all pre-selected course requested, however availability of pre-selected classes are not guaranteed.
