We Have Improved our New Family Online Registration!

Parents who have never had a student in U-46 may register online using our New Family Online Registration (OLR). Please take advantage of the opportunity to upload required documentation within the OLR if possible. We may contact if there are questions regarding your OLR submission or to provide additional information at a later date, prior to enrollment.

If you currently have children enrolled, or have forgotten your password, please see the instructions for Returning/Current Families, you can add new students to your application

We are asking all parents to register online, Registration Assistance Events that had been planned for spring 2020 have been canceled due to recent events.
