Elkhart Community Schools opens online returning registration for 2025–26; transfers, residency proof and consent options explained

Elkhart Community Schools announced an online returning student registration process for the 2025–26 school year, with instructions for logging into the PowerSchool parent portal, a May 1 transfer-request deadline for certain transfers, and multiple required consents including release of immunization records to the state registry.

The district’s recorded announcement directed parents and guardians to sign in at the PowerSchool parent page using their username and password; parents who cannot access their account were told to contact their child’s school to reset credentials. The recording said required fields are clearly marked, that parents should carefully review spelling and punctuation on the review-and-submit page, and that an email confirmation and a printable submission confirmation will follow a completed registration.

Why this matters: Completing one registration form per returning student and meeting documentation requirements are prerequisites for transfers, address changes and district services such as transportation. The announcement also explains legal and privacy-related steps that affect military families and health reporting.
