    What comes next?

    • After you've completed your online registration, it will get sent to the school office. If we have all the registration documents, we will enroll your student.  If we don't have all the documents, the registration will sit in our queue and will be processed once we have all the documents. 
    • We will send an email reminder about our upcoming kindergarten events and email parents who are still missing documents.
      • Note: Your immunization records need to be transferred on to our Certification of Immunization (CIS) form, so even if you give us the immunization records from your doctor's office, we will still reach out for you to fill out the CIS form.
    • In June, we will send out a final email for the summer with important dates and information for the fall. 
    • In mid-August, we will send out a welcome email that will include important dates and a Google form link to help us set up kindergarten assessment times. 
    • Once we have the assessment times scheduled, we will send out an email with those dates and general Back-to-School information. 
      • August 26th & 27th will be the kindergarten assessments. Each assessment lasts about 15 mins.
      • August 28th & 29th is a soft-start for kindergartners. Half of the students (last name starting A-L) will attend on the 28th and the other half (last name starting (M-Z) will attend on the 29th. Full day 8am-2:30 pm.
