Registration for the 2026-2027 school year opened in March! If you haven't yet completed the registration process for your child, please do so as soon as possible to secure their spot.
Here are a few critical updates regarding the registration process and the upcoming school year:
AM/PM Placements
For families who have fully completed the registration process, AM/PM placements will be emailed home in mid-July. To ensure you receive your placement on time, please make sure all of your paperwork is finalized.
Special Note: "School Pickup" Policy
Due to our new student early sign-up policy, a new option—School Pickup—has been added to the registration system.
Important: Emergency contacts must have the "School Pickup" option selected in order for our staff to release your child to them. Please review your family and emergency contact information carefully when registering to ensure your approved pickups are authorized.
