Wapello Community Schools

19280. What is so important or noteworthy about that number? If we lived in California, it would represent the legal code allows for certain types of debt collections. To timekeepers, the numbers represents the number of seconds in a little more than 5 hours and 21 minutes. In SE Iowa, however, that number represents the total number of meals that were provided by the Wapello Community School District summer food program! That's right. Our school district provided almost 20,000 meals to families this summer! I'm always proud to be a member of this community and this school district, but this just emphasizes how truly amazing the Wapello school district really is. Many, many thanks to everyone who played a part in this truly amazing endeavour! Mike #WeAreWapello #WapelloTribePride

✏️The kindergarten supply list has specific items we like to have your child use in the classroom, however, we do understand that this isn't always possible for every family. Please refer to our list to see what your kindergarten needs to start the school year✂️. New to our list is a change of clothes to be kept in their backpack. Kindergarteners are busy and accidents happen sometimes. 👕👖 Kindergarteners will need to register for school. In-person registration is 3pm -7pm Tuesday, August 4th in the high school practice gym. Online registration is also available; however, PowerSchool is experiencing issues at this time. See the district's FB page for more information. August gives us all the feels! We are ready to get back into a routine, yet we don't want summer to end!🌞 Mrs. Hines & Mrs. Wykert💙💛

We are aware that parents who are trying to register are experiencing a timed out issue in PowerSchool. We suspect PowerSchool is experiencing increased traffic as schools are open for registration. Our only advice at this time is to keep trying; it took several tries to get a test student registered this morning, but it finally did work.

🎉 Online Student Registration is NOW OPEN! 🎉

It's time to get ready for another great year at Wapello Community School District!

💻 Online Registration is now available through PowerSchool. Instructions and registration information can be found here:

Our staff will be available to answer questions and help families complete the registration process.

⚠️ Please Note: We are currently experiencing a technical issue with online registration fee payments.

We will notify parents as soon as registration fees have been applied to student accounts and online payments are available.

We appreciate your patience as we work through this issue and will provide an update as soon as it has been resolved.
