Good afternoon, Partners in Education!
We hope this email finds you well - keeping cool and enjoying your summer! School is just around the corner. The first day of school is Wednesday, August 16, 2023. The full school year calendar can be viewed here online: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1378/CUSD23/2817365/Calendar-2023-2024.pdf
Online registration will open on Monday, July 10, 2023. To complete registration, simply log into your TeacherEase parent account and follow the steps. All registration for returning students is online. If you do not have access to a device to register, you will need to come into the school between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on a weekday between August 3, and August 11, to register your student(s).
If you are using a cell phone to register, it works best to log into www.teacherease.com in a browser instead of using their app for registration.
If you have trouble logging into TeacherEase, you can contact us to work on your login issue:
High School - hfricke@mtpulaski.k12.il.us
Grade School - dlora@mtpulaski.k12.il.us
While registration will remain open for several weeks, we would love if you could help us out by registering early. This will help us ensure that grade 5-12 students get the size PE t-shirt they need to start the year off right!
Registration fees will automatically calculate at the end of the online registration process. If your child is not returning this school year, please email the appropriate school principal as indicated above.
Reach out if you have any questions. Enjoy the rest of the summer!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Fricke & Mrs. Lora
