Back to School Information

Back-to-school forms for the 2026-2027 school year for all returning students (preK and grades 1-12) will be available in late July in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. 

Parents/guardians for all returning students (preK and grades 1-12) will need to access and complete the forms in the PowerSchool Parent Portal to verify and update important student information before the first day of the school year on August 12, 2026.  

These forms involve:

• Parent/guardian contact information
• Emergency medical information and contacts
• Medical history
• Student permissions
• All technology forms associated with students’ school-issued devices, including the Acceptable Use Policy and the optional Technology Protection Plan. 

Those wishing to purchase the optional Technology Protection Plan must complete the technology forms in PowerSchool AND pay the $25 fee in PaySchools Central before the first day of school for the 2026-2027 school year (August 12, 2026). If the $25 fee is not paid by the first day of school, the plan is void.

Families of new and returning students (K-12) can log in to PaySchools Central beginning in late July to pay any fees associated with their students and put funds on their lunch accounts.

The student fee schedule approved by the Board of Education reflects the elimination of all student class and course fees for the 2026-2027 school year.

The annual fees for the 2026-2027 school year will include: 

• The optional Technology Protection Plan fee ($25) for students in grades K-12
• Athletic fees at the middle school ($75 per sport) and high school ($100 per sport)
• Student parking fees at the high school ($90 for Tier A and $50 for Tier B) 

Families wishing to purchase the optional Technology Protection Plan must complete the technology forms in PowerSchool AND pay the $25 fee in PaySchools Central before the first day of school for the 2026-2027 school year (August 12, 2026). If the $25 fee is not paid by the first day of school, the plan is void.

Fall athletic fees and UAHS parking fees will be available after those assignments are completed by the schools. 

Outstanding fees from prior years are required to be paid.
