Registration for the 2025-2026 School Year is Now Open

It is time to start looking into next school year already. I know that seems like how can that be, but it is true. It is time to log into PowerSchool and register your child for next school year. The process is still the same. Log into PowerSchool, click on Forms on the left hand side, Click on the Enrollment Tab and complete the forms.

If you need Tech Support throughout the process please email support@sd171.org.

All new students will need to provide proof of residency. For returning students residency documents are not needed on initial re-registration. If documents are needed the office will contact you.

We ask that if you plan on having your child return next year to please fill out the registration documents as soon as you can. This helps us greatly in planning for next school year.
