To begin the registration/verification process, please log in using your ParentVUE account and select “2021-2022” from the drop down menu. If you started a registration for the current school year, but did not submit the form for 2020-2021, please select “start over” to begin registration for the 2021-2022 school year.


If you do not have a ParentVUE account set up, you will soon receive an email with your activation key or you can contact the office.

Families who intend for their students to attend online for the 2021-22 school year will need to complete the registration process by Friday, May 14 to have a guaranteed spot in the EDGE program.

Updates for 2020-21 academic calendar

In February, the Salem and Keizer communities were hit with severe inclement weather, causing widespread power outages across the district. With students and staff accessing classes through comprehensive distance learning, ongoing power outages impacted the ability for classes to continue, causing a week of school closures for our students.


Due to these school closures and the transition to hybrid learning for students in grades K-12, the district needed to make the following adjustments to the 2020-21 academic calendar:



Key changes for SKPS parents/guardians:

  • June 8 – Additional day added for SKPS high school graduation ceremonies
  • June 17 – Last day for students, previously June 15
    --> W/F cohort will attend M/W (June 14 and 16)
    --> T/TH cohort stays the same. (June 15 and 17)



The full updated academic calendar, including a breakdown of key dates for parents and guardians, is available on our district website.
