We look forward to a school year filled with enthusiasm, optimism, and a continued focus on providing an exceptional educational experience for every child in our community.

Online Registration For Current Students
Southern Boone School District's annual online registration and meal benefit application are both now available in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. New families to the district will need to contact their child's school office to start the student registration process.
Once you log into your parent portal, there will be a pop-up message: Action Required! Online Registration is required for all students each year, allowing you to update contact information and to complete forms that are required on an annual basis. Once you click OK, please follow the prompts to the registration portal. Your online registration is not complete until you click on the red submit button on the final page of the registration. Please contact Missy Kirmse at mkirmse@sbschools.us if you need to add a new student to your parent portal account before beginning the annual online registration.
It is highly recommended you complete online registration using a desktop/laptop instead of the portal app on your phone or tablet. Many of the forms may not open in the app and will freeze your registration. If you need assistance in completing the online registration or need to utilize a district computer, please contact Missry Kirmse to schedule a time to meet at central office.
If you need a password reset, username reminder or need to create your parent portal account, please contact Missy Kirmse. For security reasons, password reset and activation keys will need to be sent through email and will not be provided by phone. Also, your email address must match the email we have on file.
If you have any questions or need help, please contact Missy Kirmse at mkirmse@sbschools.us or call 573-657-2147.
