Back-to-School Forms

The back-to-school forms process allows parents and caregivers to verify and update their family and student information on an annual basis. It also allows them to complete forms like information release (photo and/or military opt out), family contact information and emergency information updates. 

For security reasons you may only add information for yourself, a parent/guardian who lives with you, and a parent/guardian you have added (such as a new spouse). A parent/guardian who does not live with you will need to log in using their own ParentVUE account to update their information. 

Many pieces of important information, including parent/caregiver phone and email, health information, emergency contacts, home address, and employer information can be updated via the back-to-school forms process on ParentVUE.

A child's name, gender, birth date, or grade can be updated by calling your child's school. 

Please note that you will still need to complete the back-to-school forms process in order to use ParentVUE throughout the year.

For additional assistance, please reach out to your school or email help@district279.org. 

We collect family data for a variety of reasons, the three main reasons are:

1. Identify which families may benefit from district support services and community programs:

2. State legislative changes require us to ask specific questions determined by the Department of Education.

3. Safe and Secure schools

To update your or your student’s personal information such as address, contact information, and emergency contacts, you will need to submit an Online Verification and Family Update form through ParentVUE. A step-by-step guide through the process can be found HERE. Please note that some changes may require documents to be submitted through this form or directly to the Enrollment Center before being accepted.

If you are running into issues with the online registration to update your information, refer to the troubleshooting guide HERE. If you are still unable to resolve the issue, contact your student’s school main office or submit a help request to help@District279.org.

In ParentVUE, email for each of your student’s teachers can be found in the Class Schedule tab. The name of the teacher in blue for each class acts as a link to start sending an email.

While Osseo Schools uses multiple forms of communication, teachers can send messages to you directly through ParentVUE. If emails from the district are not blocked, a copy of these messages will be sent to your email. To access and reply to them in ParentVUE, follow the guide HERE.

Student attendance can be found in the Attendance tab of ParentVUE, which contains detailed information. For a summary of what you can view in this tab, click HERE.
