Back-to-School Registration

KSD’s online Back-to-School Registration for the 2022-2023 school year is now open! All families should take time to update contact information for each student, answer required annual questions, and sign off on annual agreements and acknowledgments.

PLEASE NOTE: Class schedules will be withheld at schedule pick-up events for students entering grades 6-12 if their registration information has not been updated. Devices and support will be available to update student registration information during the class schedule pick-up times at Kearney Middle School, Kearney Junior High and Kearney High School.   

Students in grades 3, 6, 8 and 10, and any student who has had a change of address is also required to provide an up-to-date proof of residence. 

To access our Back-to-School Registration, please use the link and login information that was emailed to you from the district on Friday, July 29. After logging in, click “Back to School Gateway,” and then click “Edit” next to your child’s name. Then proceed through the wizard to complete registration. Should you have questions or trouble accessing Back-to-School Registration, or if you need to change any information that the system does not allow you to change, please email reghelp@ksdr1.net or contact your child's school.

NOTE: Please complete the Back-to-School Registration process separately for each of your students. Click Logout once you are finished and proceed to login with your other students’ username and password.

Immunizations

All children that are enrolled in KSD must be in compliance with Missouri’s current immunization laws and regulations:

Those immunization records must be on file with your child’s school nurse. If the child has actually had their scheduled immunizations, please obtain a letter, statement, or record from your health provider showing each dose of vaccine and the full date (month/day/year) administered. The law provides that students not in compliance with these requirements must be excluded from school until the student provides verification of the immunizations received, has a scheduled plan signed by the physician, or obtains an exemption signed according to the provisions of the law. Visit our Health Services webpage to learn more.

1:1 Device Insurance

KSD provides devices for all students: iPads in grades K-1 and Chromebooks in Grades 2 through 12. Each student will be assigned their own district-issued device. 

We are offering an insurance program at minimal cost to protect against accidental damage to these devices. Insurance coverage is required if students in Grades 2 through 12 wish to bring their assigned Chromebooks home. If parents/guardians do not register for the insurance program, the student’s parents/guardians will be responsible for the full cost of any damage to their KSD-issued device, including any damage that occurs while the device is at school.

  • For more information on the coverage, fees, and deductibles of this insurance program, please click here
  • For Frequently Asked Questions about our 1:1 program, please click here

1:1 insurance enrollment will begin on July 25 for the 2022-2023 academic year. To enroll, please visit the One2One Risk site starting on July 25 and enter your child's student ID when prompted. 

NOTE: 1:1 Insurance Registration will need to be completed separately for each student.
