Complete Enrollment, Continue the Journey – Choose Waukee
It’s time to complete 2025-26 returning student enrollment to plan for another year of discovery, growth, joy, and excellence. As you complete your online enrollment form, remember why so many families Choose Waukee: Our District is committed to empowering every learner, celebrating their unique journey, and creating experiences that inspire success. Let’s make this school year another one to remember — together.
In the spring, we ask families to re-enroll each of their students by submitting an online form. This helps us organize our staff appropriately to meet the needs of our District. Please complete your online enrollment as soon as you are able once it lands in your inbox.
Important note: Enrollment forms are sent based on the school your child will attend in the 2025-26 school year.
Returning Student Enrollment Frequently Asked Questions
Who does the enrollment email come from?
Families will receive an email from our District team via PowerSchool at <noreplyenrollment@powerschool.com>. To confirm which email you have on file, log in to your PowerSchool account and look for the Primary Email field at the top of the screen. That’s the address where the returning student enrollment form is sent. Check your spam or junk folder if the email doesn’t appear in your inbox. Reach out to your student’s school or contact our District Office enrollment team if you need to change your email address.
How can I reset my online Powerschool Registration password?
When you get the email to complete your returning student registration, please click “Forgot Password” below the sign-in. This will send an email to the email associated with your online registration account.
Didn’t get the email? Take a look in your spam or junk folders — sometimes it ends up there. If it’s still missing, please contact your school secretary for assistance.
Please note, the password you used for PowerSchool Registration may differ from the password to access the PowerSchool student information system.
Why do I only have one of my children’s enrollment forms in my email inbox?
If you have multiple students, one or more registration emails may go directly to your spam/junk folder.
What should I do if my address is incorrect on my child’s online registration?
Please complete a change of address form with the Waukee CSD District Office enrollment team. You can find the form and learn more on our website.
Where can I turn in my child’s updated medical documents?
Review this student health requirements guide for preschool through 12th grade so you’re prepared to meet requirements as your child grows.
You may bring any forms during the District-wide Open House Night on August 21. Or, submit the items within 60 days of the start of school to your school nurse.
How do I change or add busing selections?
You can register for busing while filling out your returning student enrollment. If something changes after you submit your form, no worries! You can use the transportation request form on our website to update your selections. The 2025-26 transportation request form will be available on our website in July.
On that transportation request form, you can add or cancel services. If you sign up for busing and end up not needing it at any point during the school year, please use the form to cancel busing. That will save our District funds, which can be used for other student purposes.
When and how can I pay my school fees?
Fees will be processed for families to pay shortly after the 2025-26 school year begins (early fall). You’ll get instructions by email once your fees are ready for payment. Learn more on our website.
When can I sign up for free and reduced meals?
All families will get an email in July when it’s time to apply for free and reduced meals for the 2025-26 school year. Please do NOT apply until July. Learn more on our website.
When do class schedules get released?
Schedules will be released in PowerSchool in mid-August. You’ll get additional information from your child’s school via email.
When will I learn who my child’s teacher is?
Teacher assignments will be released in PowerSchool in mid-August. A few elementary schools also send a letter in the mail. You’ll get additional information from your child’s school via email.
If you have questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to contact the enrollment team at the District Office by calling 515-987-5161 or emailing enrollment@waukeeschools.org. You may also stop by 560 SE University Ave. We’re here to help!
