If you have general questions about the registration process or if you do not plan on returning for the 2019/20 school year, please contact Silver Strand Elementary's registrar: Ms. Junk at kimberley.junk@coronadousd.net or 619-522-8934 ex 4097
If you have specific questions about the online registration portal, please contact Karen Maggio, Information Systems Technician via email at karen.maggio@coronadousd.net.
PLEASE REGISTER TODAY!
We look forward to seeing you in the 2019-20 school year!
- Families, please be aware that if you need to check out your student or change pickup or after school plans, you must contact the front office. Our teachers do not have the opportunity to check email during the workday. If your child regularly attends the Youth Center after school, please plan on checking your child out of the Youth Center (even if it is right after school); this avoids confusion between SSES, the Youth Center, and you!
