Pike County School Corporation

Our wonderful PCSC staff has been working hard this summer and are excited for August and the return of students for the 2023-2024 school year. We know that many of you are also ready to begin your school year preparations by completing student registration, which is scheduled to open in Harmony starting JULY 28, 2023. Registration of returning students is completed online, through your existing Harmony Family Access Portal account. Online registration eliminates the need for in-person appointments, unless you would like assistance or have a new student to enroll. Registration Information and instructions, including password recovery, related links, and the dates and times for in-person registration, are on our website at https://www.pcsc.k12.in.us/page/student-registration Please be aware that each school may release additional information about beginning-of-year activities that is specific to their building and of interest to you and your family. We hope you are enjoying the final weeks of Summer Break and look forward to seeing you soon!
