Paola Middle School
Welcome Back To School!
Online Enrollment is Open!
Online enrollment, via Infinite Campus, for the 2021-2022 school year is open and will close on August 9th. For returning families (even if you have a new student entering school) you will use your Infinite Campus log-in to complete enrollment. Once logged into Infinite Campus you need to select “More” then “Online Enrollment”. You will be asked to submit payment online. Normal credit card usage fees will be waived during the enrollment window.
There will not be a centralized enrollment in August as in years’ past. For families that have questions about enrollment, they may call the school building or district office for help. Those needing help with online enrollment or needing access to a computer may utilize the district office or a school building Monday-Friday 8:00a to 3:30p.
If you know any families that are new to the Paola School District, they may call the district office to get information concerning setting up an account in Infinite Campus or they may visit the USD 368 website for enrollment details.
