If you have not submitted an application for your Kindergarten student, please do so as soon as possible.   Registration information is used to plan for the upcoming school year including the appropriate placement of staff members.  Information regarding “Welcome to Kindergarten” events as well as scheduling for those events will be communicated directly with the families who have registered children for kindergarten through our online registration platform.

Once your application has been approved from enrollment, you  will receive a second email.  If there are any questions concerning your application, you will get an email stating what additional information is needed to complete the application.    

Once enrollment has been approved our office and nursing staff may contact you if other information is needed.

Any registrations that do not have all required documentation in or are submitted after August 1st, cannot be guaranteed to begin on the first day of school.
