Course Registration

2022-23 Course Registration

In January 2022, we will begin the registration process of selecting middle school courses for the 2022-23 school year.  Students will receive registration information and support in class on January 7 and begin the registration process on Skyward. Parents of incoming 6th graders (or parents of students who are new to the district) who would like to learn about the middle school program and course options are encouraged to view our online Welcome Video and Parent Registration Presentation. Parents and students should take the following steps to prepare for registration:

• Review and discuss course offerings listed in the 2022-23 Registration Guide on the right-hand side of this page.
• Watch the course videos to learn more about the courses on the right-hand side of this page.
• Review and watch the written and video Registration Instructions for your child's 2022-23 grade level on the right-hand side of this page. 
• Review the Welcome Video and Parent Registration Presentation.

Students/families can begin entering their course requests into Skyward on January 6, 2022 if they wish to get an early start on the process.  All course requests and alternates must be entered no later than January 21, 2022.  

If your child is not currently an ISD 624 student, you must complete the online enrollment process prior to registration.   Visit ISD 624's Enrollment website for information about how to enroll your child.

TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR BUSY FAMILIES, OUR ANNUAL PARENT REGISTRATION INFORMATION NIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH AN ONLINE PRESENTATION.

Parents and guardians of current 5th graders (or parents of students who are new to the district) are encouraged to view our new Parent Registration Presentation to learn more about the middle school program, registration process, and available courses. Transitioning to Central, A Typical Day, Course Offerings, Opportunities to be Involved, Support for Students and Families, Registration, and Next Steps are covered in the Parent Registration Presentation. If you have questions after watching the presentation, we are offering a Question and Answer session from 6-7 p.m. on January 6, 2022.  All of our department leaders and the administrative team will be available to answer questions in a Google Meet.  In order to participate in the Google Meet, you will need a Gmail account, or you can use your child’s Gmail account.  Click Here to see the links for the different department leaders.
