Returning Student Information

Welcome Back!

Returning Student Information

Families must provide proof of residency and provide emergency contact information through our online registration process before the start of the new school year. Instructions for the online registration of returning students will be communicated to all families through ParentSquare in July. There will be no in-person registration event. If you need assistance registering your student, please contact your child's school. Completing this process fulfills our annual residency verification expectation and ensures the district has accurate emergency contact information for each student.

Steps to Registering a Returning Student

  • Step 1: Apply for Free and Reduced Lunches for Each School Year

    • Did you know that thousands of families already qualify for free and reduced-price school meals? It's easier than ever to see if you might qualify, too! Not only are students able to eat school meals for a free or reduced price, but there is also a surprising amount of other benefits they qualify for, too. These include things like reduced price Chromebook insurance, local scholarship opportunities and tuition assistance, reduced fees on sports and activities, discounts on academic assessments, and more! 

  • Step 2: PowerSchool Parent Portal for Residency Verification and Emergency Contact Information 

    • Parents/guardians should complete registration for returning students online. If you have any questions about the registration process, please contact your the school your student(s) will be attending for assistance. 

    • After logging into the ParentPortal, select the student you wish to register. 

    • Select Returning student registration. 

    • Agree to terms and conditions if prompted.

    • Click next to begin advancing through the form.

If you have already submitted the form, you will need to contact your student’s school so they can make the changes for you.

  • If none of your information has changed, no. Please reach out to the building where your child will attend and ask them to put your record on hold. This will stop the automated emails.
