Enrollment FAQs

Enrollment happens each summer typically for a two week window from mid-July through August.

The district requires new and returning student families to complete this process on an annual basis. Returning student families will only be asked to verify existing information on forms pre-populated with the student information already housed in PowerSchool. Families who completed Kindergarten enrollment for their incoming kindergartener in the Spring are also required to complete the annual online enrollment process.

You can register your student anywhere with an internet connection!

• You will need any one of the following: desktop-computer, laptop computer, tablet, or smartphone with Internet capabilities.

Yes. In addition to the health information needed, there are several agreement questions that must be answered each year for your child’s health and safety, technology access, and participation in instructional programs.

Yes. As long as the application is not submitted via a Submit button as the final step, applications can be saved if more data entry is needed and reopened at a later time. You will re-enter via the account you set up when you began the enrollment process.

Questions marked with a red asterisk (*) require a response, and the process is not complete until those questions are answered.

Parents should have all the following information at hand before starting the enrollment process:

Proof of Address:

Proof of Age:
A verifiable document with the following information:

• Student's legal name
• Date of Birth

Immunization Records
All students (including students using R-7 Online Academy) must be compliant on immunizations. View the immunization requirements to make sure your student is up-to-date.

Student-specific information you may need to enter, such as unique medical information

An existing rental/lease agreement will be accepted as proof of residency only if all utilities are included in the rental/lease agreement (such that the parent/guardian is unable to produce a utility bill).  The rental/lease agreement must include the following: 

• Date of agreement.
• Name of Lessee and Lessor.
• Address of Lessee and Lessor.
• Phone number of Lessee and Lessor.
• Signature of Lessee and Lessor.
• Document states that all utilities are included.

A new lease closing document reflecting that the parent/guardian has taken possession of property located within the LSR7 district within the past 30 days.  The rental/lease agreement must include the following:

• Date of agreement.
• Name of Lessee and Lessor.
• Address of Lessee and Lessor.
• Phone number of Lessee and Lessor.
• Signature of Lessee and Lessor.
• Document states that all utilities are included.

If both the student AND parent(s)/guardian(s) are living with a district resident, notarized district forms (R1 and R2) are required with the resident’s proof of residency. These standard forms are available at each school’s office and original notarized forms must be returned to the school.

Yes, the process to approve records is done on an individual student basis every year. Therefore, we need to see the residency file for each child. Example, if you have an elementary and middle school child you will upload the proof of residency document 2 times. 

Not necessarily. If you have questions or if you’d like to know which school your child will attend, use our Boundary Locator tool.

Board of Education policy and state law require that all students attending the LSR7 School District be permanently domiciled and living within the boundaries of the school district. Students must live with their parent(s) or legal guardian(s).

Any student wishing to enroll who is domiciled with a guardian residing in the school district will submit a legal document showing court appointed guardianship. Exceptions will be made in adherence to federal/state regulations.

Correct whatever information is allowed to be changed. Note that some information cannot be changed online using PowerSchool Enrollment and will need to be changed in person at the school.

If you would like to make a change – prior to submitting the form – you can either navigate back to the page using the Previous button. Or, if you are on the Review page, click on the underlined field. However, the system does not allow changes to a submitted enrollment form. Parents need to contact their child’s school if a change needs to be made. 

Once all information has been entered for the student with an electronic signature, click “Submit.” A preview page will appear to review information entered for each page letting the parent know if any required fields are missing. Upon final confirmation of submission, the parent/guardian should proceed to the final step of making payment.

Once the online enrollment process is completed, families will receive a confirmation of submission screen and an email. You will hear within 48 hours if there are any errors or unapproved documents that need to be fixed.

Contact your individual school if you have any questions about the mandatory items or additional items for payment.

The custody of a child is presumed to be held by the child’s parents unless a court order states otherwise. Even in divorce situations, it is presumed that both parents will have joint legal custody of the child. That is, they will share equally in all important decisions such as medical and educational. If one parent informs the school district that the other parent has been denied custody or visitation, that parent must provide a copy of the court document as proof.

For new student enrollment throughout the year, each school office will provide a device to assist families. Families can also access public computers at all Mid-Continent Public Library locations. Elementary buildings will be open to new families who need assistance.  The secondary building offices are open year round for families who need assistance with completing the online registration.

No. If you are enrolling more than one child, you can utilize the same account, but you will have to enter each child’s unique snapcode, an access code from your student's building. If your additional child is new to the District, he/she WILL NOT have a snapcode and must be registered as a new student. Once the school has provided you with an access code and password for your newly-enrolled child, you will be able to add him/her to your parent account.

Each child will have to be enrolled through the online process. After completing enrollment for one child, a parent can simply click a link to begin registration for a second child.

If you are having issues with the infosnap program, such as if you have forgotten the unique username and password you created for online registration or if the username and/or password is not working, you must contact PowerSchool for assistance: 866-752-6850 (8 a.m. – 5 p.m.).

If you don’t know what the question is asking, don’t hesitate to call your school if you have a question about a specific item.
