In order to get your son/daughter registered for sports you need to follow the link below to our new registration site; SmartSchool K12. When you arrive at the home site of the user portal, you will see guides available that will walk you through the registration process and setting up your parent portal, step by step.

When you are connecting your student to your parent account, you will need the STUDENT ID and their DATE OF BIRTH. You WILL NOT use a family key. 

Once you are registered and you have added your student to your account, please make sure to go into your settings and add a "Funding Source". This will allow you to complete your purchases upon checkout. Do not auto-fill this section as it will not work due to security reasons.

Earlier this Fall we had a lot of issues with different browsers when families were registering. Please attempt to use FireFox, as it is the most successful. 

Do not hesitate to contact the activities office if you have any questions.

Seniors and their Parents/Guardians:


Attention all students,
 it is very important that you are using and checking your school gmail account on a daily basis.
Counselors and teachers are sending important emails to your school email accounts and many students are not checking or using that account. Please set you school gmail account so that you are receiving notifications so that you are aware when you have a new school email that you need to read. 

There is no lunch release this year for any students.  All students must each lunch in their designated areas.


Ready to roll? Don't wait! Register today for Driver’s Education classes starting December 7. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety has approved a variance to State statutes that temporarily allows for teleconference driver’s ed instruction, so these courses will be done online.
