You must provide and verify your email address before you can access features that require your email address. You can update your email address at any time.

If no email address has been entered, enter the address.

Email Address	(Required) Type your email address. You cannot enter an address that is already in use.

Click Verify Email Address.

You will receive an email message at that address containing a verification link.

If the code was entered accurately, your email address is displayed.

Step 2 - Enrollment Key:

There are two possible methods for requesting an enrollment key. One of the following options will be available, as determined by the district.

Option 1 - Email Validation

For this option, an enrollment key is sent to you in an email message.

Once you obtain the key, you can enter the key on this page to complete the process. To do this, follow these steps:

Click REQUEST ENROLLMENT KEY to request an enrollment key for your student. A message is sent to your email address that contains the new 16-character student enrollment key.

Check your email inbox for the message that contains the enrollment key.

Click VERIFY.

If you typed the enrollment key correctly, the message “Your key has been created and verified!” is displayed.

Option 2 - CAPTCHA Validation

This option is primarily used during a short-term enrollment event, such as Kinder Roundup.

For this option, a key is generated once you correctly enter the CAPTCHA code. To do this, follow these steps:

Type the CAPTCHA code exactly as it appears on the page.

Click Continue.

If you typed the CAPTCHA code correctly, the message “Your key has been created and verified!” is displayed.

Also, the parent will receive an enrollment key by email.

The parent should save this information for his records.
