Placement will be offered to families who have completed the Skyward enrollment process in its entirety, and enrollment will be processed in the order applications are received.

To begin the enrollment process, you will need to log in to your existing Skyward account or create a new account by selecting  the Enrollment tab on our district website at  usd458.org. From there, choose one of the following options:

• New Student Online Enrollment: Select this option if you do not currently have any students enrolled in the Basehor-Linwood School District.
• Returning Family/Student Enrollment: Select this option if you have previously had students enrolled in the Basehor-Linwood School District.

During the enrollment process, you will be required to submit the following documents:

• Proof of Residency: Students must reside at the address on file in our Skyward student information system with their guardian. The term 'reside' refers to when a student lives with his or her parents and commutes daily to and from that residence to school. Only those appointed by the courts to a full personal and estate guardianship are recognized, if both parents are deceased. Acceptable documents for proof of residency in USD 458 are the following (do not send us pictures of the envelope, but the dated bill inside with your address): Accepted documents include at least one of the following (effective March 1, 2025):

1. Current Kansas DL 
2. Current month utility bill (examples of utilities include electricity, water, and gas)
3. Current year rent or lease agreement or new construction contract if moving in within 180 days (date of agreement, address, and signatures need to be submitted)

• A copy of the state or country-issued Birth Certificate
• Immunization records (printed, not handwritten, and most recent)
• The most recent Child Health Assessment (a "head-to-toe" physical from your physician’s office)

If you have questions regarding Proof of Residency, please contact Deanna Price at (913) 724-1396 or email her at [email protected]. Please note: This process may take up to 48 hours, and enrollment will not be finalized until it is complete.

If you have questions regarding the required documents, please contact the building secretary, Kristen Bernal, at (913) 662-7150 or email [email protected].

We are thrilled for the upcoming school year and can't wait to welcome new and existing students back to our Early Learning Center this fall! 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Jillian Porter
