Residency & Enrollment Overview
Raytown Quality Schools uses a centralized enrollment process. Enrollment is required each year and can be completed in your Parent Portal online or in the FOCUS app (search "RQS FOCUS" in your preferred app store and download it free). Enrollment is required for each student in your family. Residency is verified every year. You will upload the necessary documents in your Parent Portal.
Before you start the enrollment process, make sure you have collected the following documents:
Government-issued photo ID/passport
Mortgage statement/Full lease agreement
Utility bill-electric, gas or water/sewer from the past 30 days (No Shut-off/Final Notice will be accepted)
Immunization records are required for Pre-K/Kindergarten, 8th grade, and 12th grade.
NEW STUDENTS will also need Proof of Birth and a full immunization record.
ALL ENROLLMENT DOCUMENTS MUST BE UPLOADED INTO FOCUS IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE STUDENT ENROLLMENT APPLICATION.

Thank you for enrolling early!
Reminder: All New Students, Kindergarten, Grades 8 and 12 must submit up to date immunizations.
All incoming 8th graders will need a TDAP and MCV shot before they can start school in August.
All incoming 12th grade students will need 2 MCV shots unless the first shot was given after the age of 16. In that case, they will only need one shot before they can start in August.
Please do not wait until August to get these required vaccinations because you run the risk of doctors' offices/ health departments running out of the vaccinations before your child can receive one. Please be aware that if your child not does not have their vaccination or exemption card by the first day of school, they will not be able to start until they provide proof of the vaccination/exemption. There will be NO exceptions. Please turn in proof of the vaccinations to the nurse's office as soon as you get them.
