If you have not already registered your student for the 2023-24 school year, please take a few minutes to do so. All students must be registered every year. More detailed information can be found on the McFarland School District 2023-24 Online Registration webpage. If you need assistance with online registration, please stop by the high school main office.

The district is rolling out a new way to report student absences. You will now be able to put your request directly into IC. For instructions on how to do this, please click here.

There are three ways to report your student's absence:

1. Enter your request directly into IC.
2. Call the attendance line directly at 608-838-4657 and leave a message. These are sent directly to our email, so we see them in real time.
3. Email mhsattendance@mcfsd.org

If you have any questions or concerns regarding reporting absences, please contact Carli Cherek at cherekc@mcfsd.org

If you were not able to make the freshman parent/guardian orientation presentation on Monday, August 28th, the slides presentation is linked here.

The high school will have a retake day on Wednesday, September 27th, from 9:00 am - 2:15 pm in the student learning center. ALL high school students, including seniors, should plan to have their picture taken. These pictures are used to print student IDs. Every student needs an ID.

Senior students can use this link to access the senior release application. New this year, senior parents will have a section in online registration indicating that they either agree or disagree with their child having senior release. If a student completes the application, meets criteria, and has parent approval, their schedules will be adjusted. Senior release expectations are linked here for reference.

Please note, students who have senior release will be expected to leave the building daily and cannot choose to stay some days and leave others. Senior release will replace a study hall and is non credit bearing. Senior release is a privilege and may be revoked if students cannot remain in good standing academically, behaviorally, and attendance-wise. Senior release can be applied for at any time during the school year.
