Online Registration
Our online registration is live! We encourage you to register as soon as possible. All families of returning and new students are required to register. We need our families to review and update their household and student information. This is a requirement and not optional for ALL families.
Registration will take place online in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This process should take 15-20 minutes. To help prevent duplication of information, only the Primary Household member will need to login to their Infinite Campus parent account and click on the “more” tab to access the online registration. We will not hold on-site registration at any of our buildings. If you have questions or need assistance with Infinite Campus, please send an email to District Registrar, Julie Gengler, at wcsd_registrar@waunakee.k12.wi.us. If you would like assistance with the online registration in a language other than English, please contact District Interpreter and Translator, Angie Ramos, at 608-849-2000, option 2.
Pay School Fees
Please pay your 2022-2023 School Fees by logging into your parent portal in Infinite Campus.
Registration fees and school store items for students in grades K-12 are available now. .We have been transitioning to a more accurate and efficient fee structure, and in the process we are learning some new processes. As part of the transition, we inadvertently assigned exempt status to fees to all of our students, instead of just the one student we were trying to make exempt. As a result, you will see two extra lines on your fee bill for each incorrectly assigned fee - one where it was assigned, and one that voids it out. We apologize for the mistake and the confusion, and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this transition that will make our fee process more user friendly moving forward. These fees will be due by September 30, 2022. Families will begin receiving fee statements for any outstanding fees beginning October 1, 2022.
Class specific fee's such as art 7/8, TE-8,Gateway to Tech 8, and F/CS 8 will be added when classes are live.
School supply lists
Please note that our school supply lists may look different than previous years. This past year, staff have revamped our lists to make the lists more manageable and affordable for our families. There may be items that you do not see on the lists that are needed. These will be ordered via the school buildings at bulk cost, and applied to school fees.
7th Grade Students will receive - 2 binders, binder dividers, paper and an assignment notebook
8th Grade Students will receive - 2 binders, binder dividers, paper, composition notebook, and and assignment notebook.
Other items that will be provided for classroom use are: Glue, scissors, colored pencils, rulers. index cards, and post it notes.
