Some traditions never go out of style... Student registration looked a little different at Waukee CSD in 1961, but getting ready for the new school year still starts with returning student enrollment! If you haven't already, please complete your 2026-27 enrollment.

Every returning student must re-enroll each year so we have the most accurate and up-to-date information on file. The student's primary contact should have received an email from PowerSchool Enrollment with a link to complete the process.

Need help? Stop by the District Office to re-enroll in person or call 515-987-5161.
