Can I save the work I have done and return later to complete the forms?
Yes
Do I have to answer all the questions?
Items marked with an asterisk (*) are required. You will not be able to submit if required fields have been omitted.
I’ve completed the form, now what?
When you have finished entering your information, click “Submit.” This will send all the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure that you have answered all required questions.
What if I have more than one student in the district?
Do I need to do this for each child? Yes, because you’ll need to provide information that is specific for each child. We recommend that you submit one Returning Student Registration and then start another – this will allow the site to copy shared family information on each student's form, which will save you time.
Can I go back to work on my child’s verification if I have already submitted?
No. Once you have reviewed and submitted your form online for a child, you will NOT be able to return to that child’s forms to make edits. Any necessary changes must be submitted to the registrar at the local school level.
I forgot my password. What do I do?
Please use the password reset option on the enrollment website or access this help article, Troubleshoot: Forgot Password.
