It's time to register for the 2020-2021 school year

This year, as you register your children, you will make a choice between an in-person learning experience or a virtual learning experience.


Please make your choice by Tuesday, July 21.


Here is information about both options:
Complete registration forms online

This year, you do NOT need to attend in-person Centralized Registration. Returning and new families can complete the registration forms online.

For instructions about online registration, go here .

When you register, you will be asked to select in-person school or virtual learning (VIPR). To aid the District in planning, please make your choice by July 21.

What if I need assistance with registration?
In-person registration times are available for families who do not have Internet access or who would like assistance in completing the forms.  In-person registration

Verify residency
Each year when you register your student(s), you must provide one document to verify residency. Acceptable proofs of residency include recent utility bills (water, electric or gas), in the resident's name, showing the service address. How to verify residency
Alternative schedule for grades 6-12 is a possibility

Based on the enrollment choices made by families, there may be a need for an alternative schedule for grades 6-12.

If a large number of our student population opts to return to in-person learning at the middle school and high school level, the District will implement an alternate scheduling plan that allows for fewer students in the high school and middle schools each day. The reason for this would be to allow for physical distancing to a greater extent. 

One such example of an alternative schedule would be that one-half of the student body would attend school every other day.  The days when students are not in school physically will be used for self-directed and independent learning.

If a move to an alternative schedule is made, more information will be made available at that time.

Please note: This plan only affects students in grades 6-12. Students in elementary school would continue with a full 5-day in-person experience.
Other potential adjustment plans

Note: These plans are not necessarily sequential. Any of these adjustments may be implemented at any time as conditions warrant.
  • In the event of isolated positive cases of the virus, and as directed by the Cass County Health Department, there may be periodic classroom or school closures with a transition to short-term distance learning for those groups of students.
  • The District could continue providing elementary students with a full 5-day in-person experience by spreading out using space at the elementary and middle schools. In this scenario, the District would transition grades 6-12 to a full virtual environment with opportunities for small group intervention instruction at the high school for our middle and high school students. (This option does not impact students K-12 who had already selected the VIPR option.)
  • The District could implement a full virtual instruction model for all students.
