Welcome to Cole County R-V School District, Home of the Eagles!

If your child has not attended our school in the past, please complete the New Student Registration form for each child you wish to enroll, and our Registrar will contact you to verify enrollment.

New student registration opens July 6, 2026.

Before students attend classes in our district, we must receive:

• Proof of residency (DESE - Determining Residency)
• Copy of birth certificate
• Immunization records
• Educational Records (transfer students only)

If you are enrolling your child in Eagles' Nest Preschool, there are no residency requirements.

Cole County R-V School District uses Campus Parent to update and verify information on students returning to our schools each year. 

The 2026-2027 school year will open on July 6. Please log in to Campus Parent to:

• Verify important information such as emergency contacts, health updates, contact information, etc.
• Review and acknowledge the 2026-2027 Student Handbook.
• Review your child’s academic schedule.

Verification for each child must be completed before August 21, 2026.

If you are unable to log in to your Campus Parent account, please email Katie Ballew or call (573) 498-4001.

If you have any questions or need assistance with verification or your child’s academic schedule, we invite you to our Registration Days on August 11-12 (or by appointment) in your choice of high school or elementary offices. 

• August 11 from 8:00 am-3:00 pm, closed from noon-12:30 pm for lunch.
• August 12 from 1:00-7:00 pm

If you need to make a schedule change, please set an appointment with Ms. Little (Grades 6-8) or Mrs. Adrian (Grades 9-12). Schedule changes are not available for PreK-Grade 5. Please note: changes to your child’s schedule will be made for academic purposes only. 

If you completed the 2026-2027 enrollment verification, completed the Handbook acknowledgement, and have no schedule changes, you do not need to attend Registration Week.

MISUSE OF ELECTRONIC PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES: CELL PHONES, SMART WATCHES, WIRELESS EARBUDS OR SIMILAR DEVICES. 

Per Senate Bill 68, signed by Governor Kehoe in 2025, the use of cell phones, smartwatches, wireless earbuds or similar communication devices is strictly prohibited during regular school hours. This policy prohibits using or displaying such devices from the beginning to the end of the school day, including but not limited to during instructional time, meal times, breaks, times between classes, study halls, and any school-related trip during the regular school day. If a student violates this policy, the device will be confiscated and taken to the office. A parent or guardian must pick up the device, and additional disciplinary action may be taken.

Disciplinary action for violations are listed under 4A. Misuse of Electronic Personal Communication Devices: Cell Phones, Smartwatches, Wireless Earbuds or Similar Devices in the 2025-2026 Prek-12 Student Handbook. Exceptions to this policy will only be made for emergency situations or for documented educational or health needs included in an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Section 504 Plan, as required by federal law.

OFFICE PHONES: Students are reminded that the telephones in the high school office are for business and emergency use only.

• Chromebook Distribution: Students in grades K-12 who have a signed Handbook Acknowledgement will receive their Chromebooks on the first day of school during their first-period class. Chromebooks will not be handed out at Registration or Open House.
• Chromebook Fees: Students in grades K-12 will have a Chromebook fee assigned before Registration, and they may be paid in Campus Parent or during Registration. If you wish to waive the Chromebook coverage, contact the appropriate office.
• Parking Passes: Students in grades 10-12 will have parking fees assigned before Registration. If parking fees are paid before the first day of school, students will receive their parking tag during their first hour class on the first day of school. Parking passes will not be handed out at Registration or Open House. Any unpaid parking fees will be waived at the end of the year. 
• Class Dues: Freshmen and new students will have class dues assigned to each student account and may be paid in Campus Parent. Dues must be paid to attend or participate in extracurricular activities.

Please mark your calendar to attend our Meet the Teacher Night on August 20, 2026, from 4:00-6:00 pm. This event is the perfect opportunity to bring school supplies, visit with teachers, decorate lockers and confirm transportation arrangements. 

We kindly ask all families with registration or technology questions to contact the appropriate office prior to Open House, as this event is focused on meeting teachers, touring the building and preparing for the new school year.

As a reminder - all athletes in grades 7-12 must have a valid physical on file with the Activity Director before an athlete will be allowed to practice or compete in MSHSAA contests.

Infinite Campus announced it has switched payment processors for all online payment functions in the Campus Portal.  This will have no impact on how payments are processed; however, you will need to update the following:

Add Payment Method(s): 

If you already pay fees online, your information will NOT automatically be transferred over to ensure the security and confidentiality of your data. 

Add credit/debit card information or bank accounts.

To validate bank account information, there will be two options:

1. Automatic Validation - You’ll be prompted to log into your bank to validate your account.

2. Manual Validation – 24-48 hour manual confirmation process before the account will be activated.

If you need assistance adding payment methods, please follow these instructions. 

Update Recurring Payments:

To ensure the security and confidentiality of your data, your recurring payments will NOT be transferred. 

Add any recurring payments you previously had set up and use the new payment methods you created.

If you need assistance with recurring payments, please view these instructions. 

There are no other changes in the way you will experience online payments. 

If your student is riding a bus this year, please stop by the Transportation Office during Meet the Teacher Night on Thursday, August 20, from 4:00-6:00 p.m.

This year, Durham is using a new bus routing system, which means bus routes, pickup and drop-off times, and driver assignments may be different from previous years. All families needing bus transportation should verify and register their transportation information to ensure their student is assigned to a route before the first day of school. Please do not assume that your bus number, pickup time or drop off time is the same.

If you are unable to attend Meet the Teacher Night, please contact Transportation Director Deb Schwaller during regular business hours (8:00am - 5:00pm) at (573) 533-8043 or by email at dschwaller@durhamschoolservices.com to register and verify your transportation information.

Please remember that last-minute transportation adjustments often impact other students and families. While we will work through late registrations as quickly as possible, we ask for your patience during the first couple of weeks of school as routes are finalized and refined.

Thank you for helping us provide safe and efficient transportation by verifying your information before the first day of school.
