Kindergarten Registration for the 2022-2023 School Year
Additionally, if you know someone that lives in Perry Township that has a child that will turn 5 before September 1st, please share that all Kindergarten Academies are currently enrolling students for next year.
We will host a Summer program for our new students, but the deadline for getting them transportation is April 21st. We don't want any new students to miss out on this important opportunity!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give us by spreading the word about Kindergarten enrollment!
Your Principal,
