Summer Newsletter - July 25

As we reach midsummer, I hope this message finds you and your family enjoying the outdoors and spending time together. Our staff have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, ensuring a smooth and positive start for all students. If you still need to register your student, please take the time to do so this week. You can register online by accessing this link or visiting our Kolak Education Center at 1500 Fourth Street.

I encourage everyone to enjoy the remaining weeks of summer break with their loved ones. Stay safe, stay connected, and stay tuned for more back-to-school updates. In this newsletter, you’ll find details on our summer engagement events, Community Health Fair, Back-to-School nights, and more.

In service,

Dr. Willie E. Garrison II

School District of Beloit Superintendent

This year, we've simplified the process by offering online registration through Skyward Family Access. It's quick, easy, and will save you time!

To assist with online registration, we have prepared a user-friendly step-by-step video tutorial along with clear instructions to walk you through the process seamlessly. Access our registration webpage to view the video.

Important Updates

If you registered before June 18, you will need to go back into Skyward to see if your student has any outstanding fees that need to be paid before the start of the school year.

If you believe your family may qualify for waived fees, please ensure you complete the alternate household income form. This form should be returned to your child's school or the Kolak Education Center. The form can also be completed electronically by logging into your Skyward Family Access account.

Join us as our schools host a series of family-friendly events throughout the summer! From family picnics to movie nights, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Check out several of the upcoming dates and times below. We can't wait to see all of ours students and families!
