Student Registration
Welcome to Penn Hills School District!
We are excited to welcome you and your family to the Penn Hills School District community. Choosing a school district is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we are honored that you’ve chosen us. At Penn Hills, we believe in building strong partnerships with families to help every student grow, learn, and succeed.
Before beginning online registration, we need to know if your family has previously used Skyward (Qmlativ) or if you are new to the district:

Current Penn Hills Families Enrolling a New Student Instructions
Parents/Guardians have access to two portals in Skyward Qmlativ: Family Access and New Student Enrollment Portal. Parents/Guardians will find all of their current student information in the Family Access portal and will only use the New Student Enrollment (NSE) portal when they need to enroll a new student into the district after providing residency and birth certificate documents to the district office.

If a parent/guardian navigates to the New Student Enrollment portal, they will need to switch back to the Family Access portal.
Click the dropdown arrow next to the Home icon & Select the portal
