Parents and Guardians, Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! It is time for student registration. Please be on alert for an email to initiate and guide you through the registration process. We encourage you to complete the registration promptly so your child receives their schedules and other pertinent back-to-school items. If you need help with registration, our secretaries can assist you in your child's respective office. Please be advised that all returning students must provide proof of residence. Proof of residence can include a utility statement, lease agreement, or real estate contract. "Meet the Teacher Night" is scheduled for Fordland Elementary and Secondary on Thursday, August 17th, from 2:00-6:30. The first day of school will begin on Monday, August 21st! If you know students new to the district, please advise them there will be a New Registration Link available on our school website, fordlandschools.org, starting August 7th to begin their registration process or they may contact a building secretary. We are tremendously excited to start the year. We hope that you will join us in believing in blue!
