2025-26 Student Registration Information
In order to prepare for the coming 2025-26 school year, we are needing families to complete our Pre-Registration Form. Please help us by completing this form so that we are able to plan our student numbers for transportation and programming. It only needs to be completed 1 time per family. Incoming Kindergarten students will still need to attend Kindergarten Roundup, and all other students will still need their Forms in PowerSchool updated for the 2025-26 school year. This Pre-Registration form just provides us with an idea of our student numbers for next year.
Thank you for your help!

School Bus Safety
This new tool displays attendance data at the grade-, school- and corporation-level and shows different types of absences (excused or unexcused), as well as chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, users can view longitudinal data that can be disaggregated by student population.
Having this data at our fingertips will help both schools, as well as community partners to:
- Analyze student attendance data over time
- Identify any trends/patterns in the data or areas where data collection could be improved
- Work with a variety of stakeholders to identify root causes of poor attendance
- Review attendance policies and utilize data to inform short- and long-term policy decisions
- Set goals for improved attendance and/or data collection
- Evaluate the impact of current efforts to improve attendance
If you have not already, I encourage you to take a moment to check out the Attendance Insights data. Again, we are moving in the right direction because of your efforts and collaborative solutions, so thank YOU! Let’s keep it going!
MyRideK12 parent app
We have found out that the GPS route tracking has been not functioning correctly on the transportation app. We have disabled this feature to avoid further confusion. The app should still show you if the bus will be on time or not. Thank you all for your patience while we try to make the most out of
this app.
Transportation Information
We understand the frustration with our lack of drivers and the hardship that it places our families in at times. We have been actively trying to hire more bus drivers. We appreciate everyone’s continued cooperation and support while we continue our journey to make our school’s transportation the best it can be.
North Putnam Community Schools Thanks our Corporate Sponsors
