Registration Day!
Elementary schools were busy yesterday registering new kindergarten and pre-K students for next year. Families visited the schools with their children and enrollment paperwork and were welcomed to their new schools.
Memorial combined the new student enrollment with the book fair, giving new families a chance to engage with the school community right from the start. See more photos on the MSD Facebook page.
If you weren’t able to attend Registration Day, it’s not too late! Find out what you need to do here.
