The Charles City Community School District continues with our modern school registration process. Registration and payment of registration fees will be completed online. Families will not pay additional fees for online payments. The two-step process requires you to log into PowerSchool, update the registration information we have on file for each student, then pay school fees by clicking a link to our online payment software, SchoolPay.
Online registration will begin July 26. All Charles City Comet families will register online this year. If you need in-person assistance we will provide technical assistance and computer access.
You can register your students for school using the parent portal in PowerSchool. Please visit our district’s PowerSchool website to log in.
Building registration for new families or for families that need assistance with the online registration process is Wednesday, August 8 from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. and Thursday, August 9 from 11:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. at the Charles City Middle School commons for all buildings PK-12. All families will still register online via a school computer even if you register in person.

Families who feel they may qualify for free or reduced meals must complete an Iowa Eligibility Application and waiver form at food service before registering their children. Beginning July 26 - August 7 applications will be taken at Central Office (500 N. Grand Avenue). Waiver forms will be available in person when turning in the application. Your registration process must begin at food service. If you receive a letter from either DHS or Charles City Schools saying you automatically qualify for free or reduced meals please bring the letter to the North Grand Building if you are interested in a student fee waiver.

Students whose families meet the income guidelines for free and reduced-price lunch, or who are in foster care, are eligible to have their student fees waived or partially waived. Forms will be available for registration at the Superintendent’s office at 500 N. Grand Ave. These waivers do not carry over from year to year and must be completed annually.
