In preparation for registration, please prepare the documents listed in Step 3.

 

Step 2: Complete online registration forms beginning on Monday, February 7, 2022

Before online registration opens, you’ll want to gather the student’s family medical history and contact information for trusted, local adults the school could contact if parents and guardians cannot be reached during an emergency.


A link to begin the registration process will be available on this webpage beginning on Monday, February 7. We encourage families to complete the registration process between Monday, February 7 and Tuesday, March 8, 2022 for staffing and planning purposes.


Step 3: Finalize your student's registration by submitting the required documents online
