Welcome to Polson School District 23!

 

Enrollment is a two-step process. 

After submitting the registration form, the form will be reviewed and approved by the school registrar. Depending on when your form was submitted, approval can take up to 48 hours (*Summer response times can vary). After the Pre-Registration form is approved, you will recieve an email with instructions on how to complete the next step. 

Please use the button below to begin the enrollment process. Students who are new or re-entering the district after being enrolled elsewhere (or returning from home school) should complete the online enrollment process. Enrollment is a "one-time" process and does not need to be completed for students who are returning to school after completing the previous school year as a Polson School District student. If you have any questions or concerns regarding enrollment, you can contact Polson Schools.
