Enrollment for the 2026-27 school year is underway for USD 253 Emporia Public Schools and parents have more ways to complete their student’s enrollment.
For those wanting to handle enrollment in person, the Jones Early Education Center will be open to that end from 8 am to 4 pm through Thursday of this week and Monday through Thursday of next week. For those who are unable to make those hours, the district has an online option that is even more user-friendly than before.
According to USD 253 Emporia Assistant IT Director Stephanie Murray, parents will access the online enrollment form through the district’s PowerSchool Parent Portal at USD253.org. Murray says this year, the district has made some improvements and updates to the PowerSchool page in an effort to make it easier to navigate both during the enrollment process and over the course of the school year.
Director of Community Relations Lyndel Landgren says for those with questions on the enrollment process, they should utilize their ParentSquare account, which is where the district will be sharing pertinent updates and communications as the enrollment process continues.
The online enrollment form opened last week and according to Landgren, more than 1,000 students have completed all enrollment forms for the coming school year.
For additional questions or information, be sure to visit USD253.org, call the district offices at 620-341-2396 or email enrollment@usd253.net.
