Registration- Beginning May 27, 2020

Registration this year will be completed online using our ActiveParent portal and will require the use of a student-specific registration code. These registration codes will be issued to the guardian when report cards are picked up at the campuses on May 27th-29th. The online registration portal will be opened for parent use on May 27th. 

Unfortunately, parents that attempted to register their students prior to the official opening of the portal on May 27th will have to re-complete the registration process due to the fact that the student-specific registration code must be used in order to verify guardianship to the ActiveParent account. We apologize for the inconvenience, but student safety is a top priority for our district.

The required registration documents and proofs of residency will be accepted both online during the registration process or in-person after June 8th. 

Required Registration Documents: 

• Two proofs of residency (New and Returning Students):
  • Filed Homestead Exemption Application form for the student’s primary residence.
  • Mortgage document or property deed for the student’s primary residence (A bill is NOT an acceptable document. An acceptable document will contain the land description of the student’s primary residence).
  • Notarized apartment or home lease where the student resides.
  • Utility bills (Water, Electricity, or Gas – NO PHONE BILLS) (Must have been issued within the last 30 days and No PO boxes)
  • Current valid driver’s license or state-issued ID showing residence property address.
  • Affidavit of residency (Go to the child’s school office to complete)
  • Current valid automobile registration – Name and physical address must be valid – A car title is not a valid proof.
