• Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!

    We're excited to welcome our scholars to a new school year!

    Below you will find items and information you will need to begin the year, including information on completing the annual registration process, school supplies, back-to-school nights and open houses and more. 

    The first step is to complete your scholar's annual registration information via the CPS Families Portal. 

    To begin, log in to the .  

    Your guardian ID and/or password information can also be found at the CPS Families Portal Username and Guardian Email Check.

    Once logged in to the CPS Families Portal, locate the Campus Parent icon to begin the annual registration update process. Within the registration update process, you will have access to the following:

    • School registration updates: (updating your scholar's contact information, emergency contact information, health information, bus information, school lunch status, acknowledgments and agreements, etc.)
    • Bus Opt-In: Families must indicate if they will require bus transportation services each school year. This is included as a question within the registration update.  It is a mandatory question that requires an answer to complete your registration submission. Families that indicate they will require transportation and need alternate pick-up or drop-off accommodations can then complete the Alternate Transportation Survey tab on the portal.  Bus opt-in information must be completed by August 1 to receive bus transportation on the first day of school. The deadline for late opt-in requests is September 3. Appeals for transportation outside of the eligible rider distance will not be considered until after the routing timeline is complete following the September 3 late deadline.


    As a reminder, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø only offers transportation services to those students who meet the following qualifications based on home of residence:

        • High School (grades 9-12): reside 2 miles or more from school
        • Middle School: (grades 6-8) reside 1 mile or more from school
        • Elementary (grades K-5): reside 1 mile or more from school

    Additional instructions to complete the registration process are available via video tutorials in multiple languages.
