Registration Details & Snapcode Instructions
Returning student parents/guardians will receive an email on May 1st, 2026, sent to the primary email address we have on file. This email contains a unique "snapcode" for your student. The snapcode is a secure key that allows you to access your child's registration forms with much of their information already filled in.

Click the link provided in the email to go directly to the PowerSchool Enrollment portal.

Repeat for each child. You will receive a unique email and snapcode for every student you have enrolled in the district.

Elementary Students Transferring within the District
Parents may complete the registration process in the Portal as normal, but must first contact the gaining school to notify the office of the transfer. Parents are also responsible for following up with the gaining school to make sure records have been transferred prior to the start of school. An Open Enrollment/Out-of-Zone form is required, which can now be found in the Powerschool Parent Portal, under Forms > General Forms.
Note: Should enrollment at one of the elementary schools exceed the appropriate numbers of students per grade, Out-of-Zone students will be transferred back to their home zone elementary school according to the date the student applied for the Out-of-Zone authorization. All Out-of-Zone Applications are only valid for one school year and must be resubmitted annually.
School Building Webpages, depending on the school, may have additional information regarding registration, office times, building information, locker assignment, athletic packets, student handbooks, etc
