Student Enrollment

  • Enrollment has moved from SchoolMint to PowerSchool Enrollment Express. The decision was made after much consideration of parent feedback over the years. We're confident that this change will improve communication with your student’s school and make it simpler for you to complete the necessary paperwork in an easier, more efficient way.

    As a first step, it will be necessary for the creation of a parent PowerSchool account. You can follow the instructions below by clicking "Returning Students" or "New K-12 Students."

    Support staff will be on-site, beginning July 24, to provide in-person technical assistance and guidance for families.

    If you have questions at any time, please contact the school your child attends. We are here to help you through the process. 

    Use the following link to find your student's school:
