FAQs

How do I know I have successfully completed online registration?
Those who have successfully completed registration should receive an e-mail from "messenger@kirkwoodmo.mg.infinitecampus.org". You may want to check your "spam" folder. Additionally, you are welcome to call the main office for the school with which your child will be attending to confirm receipt. Please allow one business day for the online application to reach the desk of the main office of the elementary school.

What is online enrollment?
Online enrollment is an online application that parents and guardians must use to enroll their children at the beginning of every school year (enrollment starts in early February prior to the school year start). After completing online enrollment, new students to Kirkwood School District must go to their school on its assigned enrollment day and bring with them the printed verification page. Continuing students may qualify for paperless enrollment.
-
Who can enroll a student?
Only parents and/or legal guardians with “rights to records” and/or “educational guardianship” can enroll students.

Can I still complete the online enrollment without an email account or internet access?
No.
A valid email address and Wi-Fi access is required to begin the online enrollment process. If you do not have an email address you should contact the building for an appointment to register in person through a kiosk with all required documentation.

Do I have to complete the entire application in one sitting?
*** You are not required to complete the entire application in one sitting. Please be sure to write down your online application number for your records in case you need more time. This number should be entered into the confirmation field when you return to the online registration system to bring you back to your original application.

What are acceptable forms of proof of residency?
*** This is a mandatory step. You will not be able to proceed or save your application past this point if you do not upload proofs of residency. One document from each List A and List B are required.

If a family’s residency status is found to be inaccurately represented or changes without notification to the district, the district may act to recover the cost of services provided.
