Back to School Information
BACK TO SCHOOL 2023
The start of the new school year is now less than a month away. This page is intended to be a one-stop location for everything parents/guardians need to prepare to return to school.
The first day of school is Monday, August 21.
Infinite Campus Parent Portal & Online Registration - Existing Parents
At noon on Monday, July 24, parents with children already in the Festus R-VI School District received an email with a unique code that is to be used to create their parent portal account in Infinite Campus. Any parent who wants to continue to receive communication from the District, should create a parent portal account in Infinite Campus.
Once that step is complete, one parent needs to take the next step to complete online registration. This includes proof of residency. Proof of residency documents may include: a recent utility bill with the service address and due date visible, mortgage papers, rental agreement, or a property tax statement.
Infinite Campus Parent Portal & Online Registration - New Families
New families to the Festus R-VI School District may create their parent portal account and begin online registration here. This link online works for new families to the District. New families must also provide proof of residency during the online registration process. Proof of residency documents may include: a recent utility bill with the service address and due date visible, mortgage papers, rental agreement, or a property tax statement.
Parent portal and online registration questions can be directed to Paula Cox at coxpaula@festusedu.com.
