Current School Year Information
Annual Census
New this year, South St. Paul Public Schools are asking all families to complete an annual census in Infinite Campus. Once you log into Campus, you’ll be prompted to enroll your student for the 2024-25 school year. This is NOT a new enrollment, instead it is a place to verify your information is correct for the upcoming school year. The annual census ensures the district has the correct information for each student and family for the upcoming school year.
