(June 15, 2020) As the St. Joseph School District
plans for the school year ahead, steps are underway to ensure a safe return for
students and staff amid the ongoing pandemic. The district will provide updates
in the weeks ahead to help you prepare for any changes that may be necessary
due to guidance from local and state officials. For now, we wanted to
update you on a change that is coming to our registration process.
The St. Joseph School District is
excited to announce an online student enrollment system for the upcoming
2020-2021 school year, PowerSchool Enrollment. This online process replaces
many of the registration forms that students typically bring home to be filled
out. PowerSchool Enrollment provides families with convenient 24-hour a
day, seven day a week access to the online registration feature. Online
enrollment is open to new students entering kindergarten through 12th grade including out-of-district Hillyard students. This does NOT include
pre-school.
If you do not have access to the
internet either at home or elsewhere, please watch for dates on which you can
come to the building to register. Computers and staff will be available to help
you.
Parent Note: The online student enrollment process represents only
some of the requirements parents fulfill as they enroll their child in district
schools. Because certain requirements vary from school to school, please check
with your child's school to see what additional paperwork may be required.
Returning Students
to SJSD
If you went to a school in the St.
Joseph School District last year you will receive a snap code in the mail, once
you receive this code you may access the online registration system. These
codes were mailed the week of June 15, 2020. If you have not received your code
by July 1, 2020 contact the SJSD helpdesk at 816-671-4444 or email
helpdesk@sjsd.k12.mo.us.
Once you receive your student’s snap
code, click here to enter your student’s snap code and begin the
returning student registration process.
Many buildings will also have an
in-building component to finalize registration, so please watch for information
from your school regarding those dates.
New Students to
SJSD
New students are those who did not
attend a school in the district last year and are entering grades K-12. Parents of preschoolers SHOULD NOT
register them online. Students who are
moving to a different school are still returning students and should wait for
their snap code.
1. Please fill out the online student registration form. After you create an account, click
on "New Student Registration 2020-2021."
2. New students, make an
appointment to meet with the Principal at the school.
3. You will need to bring the
following information with you to your appointment or request your previous
school to send your records before we can enroll you:
-
Transcript
-
Withdrawal
grades (if withdrawing during the year)
-
Immunization
Record
-
IEP &
Summary (if applicable)
-
Proof
of Residency, such as a lease agreement or utility bill showing the
student lives in the school's attendance area
What information
do I need to fill out the form?
In order to save time, it is
important to gather required documents that will be needed for registration and
ensure you have access to update your student's medical and personal
information. The necessary documents include:
-
Updated medical information including an up-to-date
Immunization Record.
-
Updated personal records. For example:
-
Proof of Residence. Each student
registering to enroll in the St. Joseph School District is required to
provide proof of residency documentation during the enrollment process.
You must provide one or more of the following documents, showing the
student lives in the school's attendance area, for
proof of residency:
You will have the option to upload
an electronic copy of proof of residency documents during the online
registration process. However, you may still be asked to provide a hard copy to
the building for review.
We are excited to provide online
registration to the parents, and guardians, of the St. Joseph School
District. If you need any help with the process, or additional
information, don’t hesitate to contact the SJSD helpdesk at 816-671-4444 or
