Quakertown Elementary School

Greetings Panther Families:

Back-to-school is almost here - and we need your help! All QCSD Families must complete the following online registration for your returning student(s).

This process should take between 20-30 minutes.

If you have more than one student enrolled in the District, you must enter a unique snapcode to begin each of their registrations.

Additionally, if your student is an incoming kindergarten student or new to QCSD, we understand that you have recently completed the New Student registration form. Please use this form as a way to update any needed information prior to the beginning of school to ensure that we have the most accurate contact information for your child.

Thank you for your assistance in ensuring we have up-to-date information for your family. Please complete your student's online Returning Student Registration as soon as possible to ensure we can finalize class lists, building placements, and district transportation in a timely fashion.
