Important Information!
Online Registration:
Our district has introduced online registration through InfoSnap, a feature of PowerSchool, which allows you to register using the online system. Online registration is currently open for returning students (any student who attended a school in the Cedar Falls Community School District during the 2016-17 school year) in the PowerSchool Parent Portal account and will be available through the first day of school. You can register your student(s) at any point from now until the beginning of the school year using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. It is recommended that you do this prior to the first day of school.
New students moving into the District for the 2017-18 school year should contact the Cedar Falls Administration Center as soon as possible to begin the registration process.
Registration assistance is available until August 23 from 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM at the Cedar Falls Administration Building located at 1002 W 1st Street. Assistance is also available by phone at (319) 553-2644. Additional information regarding online registration can be found on the District’s website – www.cfschools.org.
