    New online Registration
      
    Due to COVID-19 the State of Alaska has closed schools statewide through May 1st (possibly later).   We are not accepting new student registrations at this time.

    KGBSD has gone PAPERLESS! Parents and guardians can complete the NEW student required paperwork using the our Online Registration Portal.  In just a few clicks, you can register one or more children.  All school forms including emergency care information, immunization records, media release forms, and more are 100% online for your convenience.
     
    To register your child for school you'll need a valid email account, your child's birth certificate and immunization record (these can be uploaded or brought to the school).
