Cedar Falls Schools will hold a job fair for individuals interested in learning more about serving as a paraeducator for the 2021-2022 school year. The job fair will be held on Tuesday, July 13, 2021, from 3:30-6:30 p.m. at Southdale Elementary, 627 Orchard Drive, in the gymnasium. Childcare will be available on the Southdale Elementary playground. 

Paraeducators serve in general education classrooms, in preschool classrooms, as members of special education teams, or in the media centers and provide support to students under the direct supervision of a certified teacher while providing instruction in either a small group or individual setting. Staff work closely with students to help them reach their individual goals and to provide opportunities for each student to reach their full potential.

The starting hourly wage for a paraeducator is $11.77-$12.40. Depending on the position, paraeducators may be eligible for health insurance benefits. All paraeducators participate in the Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System (IPERS) and have paid time off/holiday/leave benefits.

Working as a paraeducator is a great way to align a work schedule to your student’s school schedules while also providing essential services to our students!

Anyone interested in learning more about the role or interviewing for a position is encouraged to attend the job fair. If you have questions prior to July 13, please email jessica.smith@cfschools.org.
Registration Now Open for
2021-2022 School Year!
Online registration is for returning students in grades 1 through 12 and will close on Friday, August 6.

To register your returning student, log in to your PowerSchool Parent Portal. Once you have logged in to the portal, the link for Online Registration will be at the bottom left side of your screen. If you have forgotten your username or password, or have not yet set up a parent account, please email powerhelp@cfschools.org. You may also call our PowerSchool Support line at 319-553-3004. Do not click on the forgot password link on the PowerSchool Parent Portal.

Through trial and error, we have found that certain special characters in some Portal passwords have caused problems with online registration, even though they work fine with the Portal itself. If your Parent portal password contains special characters and you are experiencing difficulties with the online registration system, contact us as suggested above for a password reset and try it again. We have also found that FireFox and Google Chrome are the preferred browsers when accessing online registration.

If you have more than one child, you will need to complete the registration for all children in your household (with the exception of PK, Kindergarten, or new students to the district). We suggest that you submit one and then start another; each registration requires you to log in again.

After you have finished the registration process and submitted your information, there will be a link on the last page to the “Tiger Web Store”, which is the payment portal for school fees, fines and meal account payments. Please wait until you have registered your child/ren before paying fees, fines, and meal account payments. (Additional directions for making an online payment.)

If you have any questions or clarifications related to online registration, you may click “Contact Us” from any form page, email questions to powerhelp@cfschools.org, or call our PowerSchool Support line at 319-553-3004.

For students who are new to the district please visit our Administration Center at 1002 W First Street, Cedar Falls, and speak to our Registrar, Jessica Smith, or by phone at 319-553-2644.

You will not need to register any Preschool, Kindergarten or new students to the District who may have already pre-registered with us, but you will need to set up a parent account to pay fees, fines and make meal payments.
If you need assistance with registration, please contact Jessica Smith, District Registrar at 319-553-2644 or jessica.smith@cfschools.org.
The Cedar Falls Tiger Booster Club is a non-profit 501c3 organization with the sole purpose of supporting the athletic programs at CFHS, Peet Jr. High and Holmes Jr. High. Now in its 46th year, the Club is one of the largest booster clubs in the state. 

Our students are the heart of the club. With about 2600 students - 7th to 12th grade - and 85% participating in extracurricular activities - those 2200 students are engaging above and beyond their academics. When you join the Booster Club, your membership supports #TigerPride students. 

District activity/athletic passes are sold by the Booster Club to any individual (residence or location does not impact purchase). Student passes (K-6 grades) can be purchased through the Booster Club. Junior and Senior High School passes are sold by the District as these are linked to the student identification card. 

Passes are good for all 7th to 12th grade home, regular season games including select music and theatre productions.
