Central Elementary’s website points families to Plainfield Community School Corporation’s online registration system rather than describing a school-specific admissions office or application. Returning students are directed to create/sign in to a PowerSchool account and complete the “Returning Student Registration” form and submit it; the site notes that transportation assignments and class rosters may not be generated until this is completed. For new students (including kindergarten, transfer applicants, or families moving into the district), district school pages describe completing an online “new student registration” portal and providing documents such as a birth certificate, health/immunization records, custody paperwork (if applicable), an IEP for special education students (if applicable), and proof of residency (housing document plus supporting utility/ID items). The Central Elementary site does not publish annual registration opening/closing dates, and it does not describe any waitlist process for Central Elementary enrollment. It also does not list priority categories for admission; any transfer/choice priorities appear to be handled under district-level transfer policies rather than Central-specific criteria.
