2022-23 Registration

Registration Information

August registration is a very important event for Kinard families. At least one parent and the student are required to attend registration. The registration format is an “open-house” based on grade level, so come at your convenience on the date and during the time indicated below. Please park in the front (south) parking lot and enter through the Music Doors. 

On registration days, we will be distributing schedules, assigning lockers and student laptops, and collecting important forms and contributions. Students will have access to lockers if they choose to bring school supplies, and individual student pictures will be taken by Skillman Photography (Thursday and Friday only with make-up pictures scheduled for September 1st).

Here are additional details to help ensure a smooth registration process and an amazing start to our school year!

• Kinard Contribution Campaign: In lieu of traditional class fees, we use a streamlined process and request an annual contribution for each student. 
  • Read an overview and letter from Principal Lindsey Matkin regarding the annual contribution program.
  • Watch a video that explains how the contribution program benefits our school, students, and community.
  • You can make your contribution at registration by cash, check, or credit card. Or, you can pay your contribution ahead of time by clicking here (SchoolPay may not be updated by the district until after August 1st so try again later if the site shows “item is unavailable”). 

• Student Laptops: All students will be issued a district-provided laptop for school-related use at school and home throughout the year. 
  • Please read Kinard’s Student Technology and Computer Use Agreement.  This also includes tips for caring for your laptop.
  • There is no fee associated with the assignment of a laptop. Students will be charged $26 for lost chargers. 

• SchoolPay, Online Payment System: SchoolPay is PSD’s online system to allow families to pay for school meals as well as for items such as athletic participation fees, annual contributions, field trips, and school merchandise.
