UINTA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1
EVANSTON, WYOMING
BACK TO SCHOOL INFORMATION
2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR
The following information will assist you and your children beginning the 2025-2026 school year.
For the safety of individual students as well as to assist the District in better serving students, the District must have on file in the school office: current telephone numbers (i.e., home, work, emergency), current home and mailing addresses, and current signatures of parent/guardian(s) for authorization purposes. This can all be updated via the yearly registration process. It is also important that the district has updated health information on file for all students enrolled.
Students being enrolled in the public schools of Evanston for the first time should bring copies of their birth certificate, immunization records, and, when appropriate, records from the previous school attended. During enrollment, the District will provide forms for parents to authorize the school to request records from previous schools.
At the time of registration, students will be provided with supply lists and updated information pertaining to the student’s school, student fees, and school procedures. Student fees can be paid at that time, and parents are encouraged to deposit money into their student's lunch account before the first day of school.
Delayed Start Mondays: On Mondays, the starting time at all schools will be delayed by one hour. The delay provides the K-12 instructional staff time to participate in professional development focusing on instruction and collaboration while working on standards and assessments. Bus schedules, breakfast, and student supervision will be delayed by one hour. Please contact your building principal for additional details.
Online Fees and Registration: Parents need to log in to PowerSchool to complete the necessary registration forms before the first day of school. PowerSchool provides convenience for parents, as well as much-needed efficiencies, time, and cost savings for the District. Directions for online registration and fee payment are available on the school district and school websites found at www.uinta1.com.
The District turns off PowerSchool access during the summer, but it will be available again on August 8th. If you do not have a PowerSchool account or you do not remember your login information, please contact your child’s school.
