Ways to Register

(1) Online: In an effort to simplify the registration of your child/children for the 2026-2027 school year, G-R is encouraging online registration through your JMC parent access. Just go to the G-R website at “http://www.gladbrook-reinbeck.k12.ia.us”>www.gladbrook-reinbeck.k12.ia.us. Click the “Menu” button in the upper right corner of the home page, and then click on “Registration” and “JMC Online Registration.” Log in to your JMC parent account and follow the registration instructions.

The process of updating contact and demographic information, allowing permission for internet, field trips, medications, etc. can all be done electronically within the JMC system to eliminate completing multiple paper forms.

You may be directed to a few forms that the school will request parents to print off, sign and return to the school prior to the registration deadline. These forms may include documents such as the free/reduced lunch forms and Athletic Pre-Participation forms (optional).

The JMC on-line payment processing service is available to parents who wish to pay their fees electronically. The district is encouraging on-line and mail-in registration in order to alleviate congestion during walk-in registration.

Parents taking advantage of the on-line and mail-in registration are asked to submit their materials prior to August 12, 2026.

(2) Mail In: Download, print and complete all the applicable forms and mail in along with a check, or pay on-line. All the forms are available on the G-R website at www.gladbrook-reinbeck.k12.ia.us. You will see the link for registration materials displayed prominently on the front page. If you do not have access to the website please call 319-345-2712, or stop by the district office and we will provide you with a packet of the applicable materials.
