Registration for the 2020-2021 School Year

UPDATE - 6.24.20
Unfortunately, there was a delay in notification of Kindergarten and New Student Placements, originally scheduled for Monday, June 22.

Notification will now occur on Wednesday, July 1.

We apologize for the delay.

UPDATE - 5.6.20

School Placement Requests were reviewed on May 4, with the initial round of placements being made available to parents. Subsequent placement changes will be occurring over the next few weeks and into the month of June. This is a rolling process, as we will be receiving notifications of students not returning to district, priority placements for students with individual education plans (I.E.P.s), as well as students requiring English Language Learning (ELL) programming. These placement changes may/most likely will create additional opportunities for us to make placement changes.

Please check the Genesis Portal on May 15 and again on May 29 for updates to placements.

Update - 3.13.20

The district will be transitioning to phone registration on April 27th. All appointments through April 24th have been canceled. Parents/caregivers who already registered will be receiving information via email on how to get back into the registration data you submitted and upload documents that are needed in order for us to conduct phone registration with you.

Required documents include birth certificate, proof of residency, and medical records. IF your appointment was canceled you will also have the opportunity to choose a new appointment when you access your data.

If you are a new parent/guardian registering for the first time make sure you upload the required documents as noted above.

As the district continues to take precautions related to COVID-19, please see this important update regarding Registration.

In person school tours have been cancelled as a health precaution. Please visit the Virtual tours available online.

Please see the registration schedule for important dates.
