Online Enrollment for the 2024-25 School Year at Columbus USD 493 is now open! If you are enrolling a BRAND NEW student who has never attended a school in the district, you can enroll them at this link: Brand New Student Enrollment.

If you are enrolling a RETURNING student who was here during the 2023-24 school year, you can enroll your student by logging into your PowerSchool Parent Portal. You can find that link here: PowerSchool Parent Portal. From there you can navigate to "Returning Student Registration 2024-25" in the left pane and start your enrollment process. You may be asked to create a new account here to register even a returning student. This account will only have to be created once.
