Dear Parents / Guardians, We are excited to offer online registration again (July 1 - August 1, 2025). Hopefully you will find it easy to navigate and a convenient use of your valuable time. If you have any questions, please call one of the school offices during the month of June or the last week of July. A few tips to help you get started: We have tried to make sure we collect everything we need virtually. However, we know it may not be perfect. If you have suggestions for improvement, please reach out to one of the school offices. Please use a computer, laptop, tablet, or Chromebook to register. The app on your phone is difficult to use for registration. If you have more than one student returning to the district, you will need to scroll down through the shelf of tasks on the left to register each one. Residency documentation will need to be uploaded for every student you register, but please use the same documents for all your children. Payment for Registration fees will be accepted through the Online Registration portal. You may pay with either a Debit card or Credit card. We will also have in person registration that will be determined at a later date. In person registration will be for ALL New students to the district and for those who do not have a device capable of completing online registration at home.
