Your Parent Portal account will be used throughout your student’s academic career to provide a real-time view of your student’s attendance, assignments, grades, assessment scores, discipline, and important emails or announcements from the district, school and teachers. It also provides a convenient place to pay for student fees and complete yearly forms.

Paper forms are no longer necessary. The online application is easy to access and complete using any device that has access to the internet including your mobile phone. If a device or internet connection is not available to you, visit your zoned school to use the kiosk at the Front Desk/Registrar area. If you need assistance with the completion of the application, a school registrar is available to assist you.
Due to the many resources available to you to help you complete the Parent Portal account setup and Student Enrollment online application, fillable pdf or paper forms are only available as a very last resort. If a paper Student Enrollment form is used, it can be obtained at your student’s zoned school or by downloading a copy below.
