Registration

A parent or legal guardian must officially register students for school. An appointment may be required if you prefer to register in person. To help ensure that school and students are well prepared for the first day of school, parents are encouraged to register their child/children as soon as possible. Doing so helps our school and teachers to be equipped and ready to make each student's first day pleasant and productive.
