Back to School Registration

The Back to School Update for the upcoming 2026-27 school year is now available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal
If you have any questions or need additional assistance, please reach out to your school's office staff for support.
 
How do I get started?
From the Parent Portal:


  1. If you have more than one student that will be returning, begin by selecting your first student on the top left.
  2. Click on Back to School Update Icon from the bottom of the left menu bar.
  3. Enter the student’s date of birth for authentication and click Continue.
  4. Complete each of the questions as it pertains to that student.
  5. Review the form and make sure you have answered all of the required questions.
  6. Submit the form.
  7. Repeat the process as necessary for each student.

What's my login for the PowerSchool Parent Portal?
If you can't retrieve your login credentials using the “Having trouble signing in?” link on the Sign In page, please contact your child's school directly. 
Do I have to answer all the questions? 
No, but some questions are marked "Required" and must be answered before submitting.
What if I make a mistake? 
If you haven’t hit submit, you can go back and make changes using the “Previous” and “Next” buttons, or from the Review page, select the underlined field. If you have already submitted, you must contact your child's school so they can make the changes for you. 
I’ve completed the form, now what? 
When you're done entering your information, select “Submit.” Once forms have been successfully submitted, all information will be sent to your child's school. All required questions must be answered before you will be able to submit.  
Do I need to do this for each child?
Yes, you will need to provide information that is specific to each child.
What if I have more than one student in the district? 
After submitting forms for your first child, go back to the Parent Portal, select the next student on the top left, and repeat. To save time, you can use the import option so you don't have to re-enter contact information for additional students.
 
Please note: All bus routes, class schedules, and teacher assignments will be updated in PowerSchool closer to the start of school on August 13, 2026.
 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this request to complete the Back to School Update!

Bus Information

Transportation & Bus Routes
Q: When will my child's bus stop be available? Where can I find the route and schedule?
A: This year we are excited to offer a new tool for parents to track their child's bus in real time!
We are thrilled to bring BusRight to our families this upcoming school year! BusRight is an easy-to-use school bus tracking app. It lets parents see their child's bus location in real time. Parents can also get estimated arrival times and instant updates on delays. Students will pick up their bus pass at their school.
  • In August: Parents will get an invitation email. It will have instructions on how to set up your BusRight account.

  • About a Week Before School Starts: Your child's specific bus stops and schedules will be available in two places:
  1. BusRight app: Download the app from Google Play or the Apple iOS store.

  2. PowerSchool: Log in and click on the Transportation tab. There, you can see your child's bus number, stop location, and exact pickup/drop-off times.
