Pre-Registered Students (such as Kindergarten)
The following information usually pertains to new preschool or kindergarten parents that attended preschool roundup or kindergarten preview. If you have already completed pre-registration you will receive an email to set up a Campus Parent Portal account and to complete registration when it opens July 3rd.  Please note that if you already have an existing Campus Parent Portal account because you have other students in the district, you will not receive an email to set up an account- your preregistered student should appear in your existing portal.
