New Student Enrollment . . .
New student registration for 2019-20 KG – 5th graders opens on May 1, 2019.
The registration forms for the 2019-20 school year will become available on April 22, 2019. (If you complete the forms prior to this date, you will be asked to redo this process.)
Once you have completed the online registration form and gathered the required documents, please contact the campus to finalize the registration process for the 2019-20 school year.
If you have an incoming student, please register them as soon as possible. Likewise, if you know of neighbors with an incoming kindergartener or if new neighbors move in near you, please help us share this information. It is key that we know how many students we have coming in so we can have the right allocations of staff!
