Welcome to Waukee Community Schools!
Thank you for choosing Waukee! We’re excited for your family to join our community. Now that you’re enrolled, this page will guide you through the next steps to help you and your child get ready for the school year.
District Apps
As a parent/guardian at Waukee CSD, you’ll need to create accounts for several important apps that keep you connected with your child’s education. We’ve created a list of the apps and platforms used across our District, along with helpful links to get you started.
More About District Apps
Child Care
Waukee CSD offers two child care programs for PK-5 students:
- Beyond the Bell (TK-5) – Offers a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Child care is available in our elementary schools before and after school, as well as no-school days and during the summer.
- Little Learners Club (Preschool) – Provides wrap-around child care program for preschoolers enrolled at Vince Meyer Learning Center. Child care is available Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with students attending the afternoon preschool program in the same building.
School Supplies
Make sure you’re ready for school by getting all the necessary supplies! In May, elementary families have the option to purchase the next year’s school supply box through your school’s PTO, which will be delivered to their child’s classroom before Open House Night. Or, you can see your child’s list and purchase the items.
Nutrition
Waukee Nutrition Services serves breakfast and lunch at each school. All meals meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrition Standards, including age-appropriate calorie servings, a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grain products, less sodium, and zero trans fats.
Beginning in August, you can add money to your student’s meal account via RevTrak. You can also apply for free/reduced meals.
Transportation
Waukee CSD partners with Durham School Services to offer busing for K-12 students. Bus information is sent to families in August each year. Learn more about how to make changes to your transportation needs, download our BusZone app, and review our policies.
Student Parking & Permits
Students who are at least 14 1/2 years old can apply for a minor school permit to park on school premises.
