19-20 Student Registration
All students who will attend CCSD21 schools for the 2019-2020 school year will be able to register online. This includes currently-enrolled students who will be returning for the 19-20 school year, incoming kindergarten students, and any student new to CCSD21.
The online registration portal is managed by InfoSnap, a branch of PowerSchool, which manages our Student Information System and Parent Portal. One InfoSnap account can be used to manage registrations for all students in one family.
All students new to CCSD21 for the current 18-19 school year (enrolling mid-year), or students who need to re-enroll to complete the current year, should register online. Please find more information here.

However, CCSD21 has an acceleration policy that addresses exceptions for children whose potential and skills are in the very superior range when compared with their peers.
