Online Registration Process
Our online registration process has been created to allow parents/guardians to register their students at their own convenience and is designed to retain all of your student/family information to save you time for future registrations. If you do not have access to a computer, please contact your child's home residence school for assistance. Once you have completed the registration process for one year, the majority of the information you have added will be visible for each following year. MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE DATES TO MATCH THE DATE YOU ARE APPROVING SPECIFIC PERMISSIONS, QUESTIONS, OR DATA FIELDS.
Returning Families: (Returning Family definition: "You currently have or have had a student enrolled at Western Dubuque Schools no matter how long ago it has been.")
Make sure you use your Portal account to access the online registration.
If you do not have a Portal account or have forgotten your password, send Mary Boge an email requesting your password at [email protected].

8. Make sure the names of the students residing at your address are included in the window that appears. If there are students listed who no longer live at your residence, please contact Mary Boge at [email protected]. Any student listed in your account for whom you are not the Primary Care Provider, will appear as a no in the INCLUDED IN THE NEW APP? column.
