Your experience at Crete Public Schools matters. We invite our families and community members to take a brief, anonymous survey to help us understand what’s working well and where we can grow.

The survey takes just 5–10 minutes and is open through April 17.

CPS Families

We are excited to share that the Annual Student Information Update for the 2026–2027 school year is now open! This important process ensures we have up-to-date information for your student and helps us prepare for another great year of learning.

What You Need to Do
All returning families must complete the Annual Student Information Update through their Infinite Campus Parent Portal.

Visit the online registration site:
Complete Student Information Update
Alternatively, visit the Enrollment page on the CPS website and click the Parent Portal link.
https://cretepublicschoolsne.sites.thrillshare.com/o/cps/page/enrollment

Deadline
Please update all student information by May 1, 2026. This ensures your child’s contact details, emergency information, and permissions (field trips, photos, handbook acknowledgments, etc.) are correct before the new school year begins.

Why This Matters
Completing the annual update helps us:
Confirm important contact and health information
Ensure your student is correctly enrolled for the upcoming year
Ask for necessary permissions (pictures, activities, etc.)
Streamline school start-of-year preparation

This replaces the paper forms that were sent home in the past.

Need Help?
If you need assistance, have questions, or need help accessing the parent portal:
Call your school office
Or stop by the Cardinal Welcome Center at 930 Main Ave., Crete

Our staff will be happy to help you navigate the process, set up your Parent Portal account, or answer your questions.

Thank you for your help in ensuring a smooth and successful school year for all our Cardinals!

Be well and Go Cards!
