Once you have accepted your seat at Atlas through the SchoolAppSTL site, you'll continue the enrollment process directly with Atlas. You'll receive an email with information on how to use our Parent Portal (available November 2024) to complete enrollment forms to help us collect emergency contacts, health information, and more. You can complete the process on a phone, tablet, or laptop.

The final step in the enrollment process is to schedule a time to connect with an Atlas Team Member.  This meeting can occur on the phone, through Zoom, or in person at Atlas Elementary.  We’ll take this time to answer your questions and ensure your enrollment forms are filled out completely.
