Student Registration

Welcome to Raider Nation!

Welcome to Raider Nation and the Middletown Area School District's Student Registration page, where parents and guardians will find useful information on the District's student registration procedures. Middletown Area School District uses an online application process to enroll new students and this process is only for students not currently enrolled in the District. Parents/guardians of students in grades K-12 transferring between schools within the district do not need to complete an enrollment application but do need to update a change of address through school messenger. 

Start here to preregister a student for the current 2023-2024 school year.

Next Steps
Once you've completed the preregistration form you will receive an auto-reply email confirming the District received your form. After a staff member has reviewed your submission, you will receive another email with unique student access information. If you have multiple students, you will receive a separate email for each student. Please be patient as you wait for these emails - the process can take a few days. If you do not receive either of these emails, please do not complete the preregistration form again. Check your spam or junk mail and if you do not see an email, please contact [email protected].
