‘First Day Forms’ Can Be Completed Online
Use Back-to-School Gateway to Confirm Contacts and Emergency Information for Your Student
The Cherokee County
School District’s Back-to-
School Gateway is an
online system designed to
reduce paper waste and
wasting parents’ valuable
time!
The Back-to-School
Gateway is a paperless,
online verification system
for students already enrolled
in CCSD schools that
replaces the dreaded stack
of “first-day forms” with a
quick digital check and
update of students’ existing
contact and emergency
notification information in
CCSD’s records system.
To use the system
immediately, parents will
need to use their child’s
student ID number (which
44 CLASS ACT | 2022-2023
he or she also uses in the
lunchroom and for computers
at school) as the Username,
and the student’s
GTID number (this is on
your child’s report card and
high school semester
transcript) as the Password.
If you don’t remember
these numbers, you can
ask your child’s homeroom
teacher. Parents will want
to have their emergency
contacts’ and pediatrician’s
phone numbers on hand as
they use the system.
Through the simple and
quick process, parents will
click through screens to
confirm or update contact
information and will have
the opportunity to apply for
free or reduced-price lunch
and print out special forms
such as for medication or
allergies. Required state
and federal information
forms also have been
incorporated into the
paperless system.
The BTS Gateway
increases the accuracy of
vital information, and saves
taxpayer dollars by eliminating
paper costs and staff
time spent processing
paper forms.
Check the CCSD website
for the Gateway opening
dates and be sure you
complete the information
during the window.
Parents, please note
that the Back-to-School
Gateway is separate from
the New Student Gateway.
You should see a greenframed
screen for Back to
School; new student
registration will show a
blue-framed screen.
If you have changes to
contact information at any
time during the year, you
can update using the
Express Gateway, which is
open the remainder of the
school year. Express
Gateway screen has a red
frame.
Note to Parents: It is
very important to confirm
the accuracy of contact
names, phone numbers
and emails each year for
each child. This data is
what CCSD will use to
contact you in the event of
an emergency.
