Starting Monday, students in PCM School District can begin the process of registering for classes for the 2019-20 school year. Registration for the upcoming year runs from July 15 to Aug. 16 and has changed to a completely online process through the district’s program Infinite Campus.

“The online registration process provides parents the opportunity to submit information a Dan upload relevant documents directly to the district, including immunization records and address verification,” superintendent Brad Jermeland said. “The online registration process will streamline the district’s records keeping process.”
