IMPORTANT: Fees automatically increase by $20 per student after Apr. 15.
Check your email. Registration emails for each unregistered student were sent again yesterday–Thurs., Apr. 2. Subject Line: Register your District 96 Student for the 2020-2021 School Year.
Each registration email (one per KCSD96 student) includes a link and a unique “snapcode” needed for access to register your student for 2020-21.
