Re-registration 2021-2022

Re-registration for the 2021-2022 school-year has begun here at DeSales. Now that it is officially open, families have received an email link to register online and hard copies of the required paperwork. Families will need to fill out the online forms OR the hard copies and return to the Main Office.

Each family is asked to re-register their child(ren) to secure their spot for the next school-year. We anticipate another busy year in admissions and strongly encourage all families to register as soon as registration opens. We will be offering an early bird discount on the registration fee again this year. Register by March 5th and pay only $75 per child! After March 5th the registration fee will go to $100 per student.

Our first priority is securing spots for the 2021-2022 school-year for the students of our current families (you!). We will hold all spots until March 5, 2021. Your registration and registration fee secure your child's spot.

If you have questions about registering for the 2021-2022 school-year, please contact Mrs. Kim Knuutila at knuutilak@desalescatholicschool.org. If you have questions about financial aid, please contact, Mrs. Annette Wojcinski at wojcinskia@desalescatholicschool.org.

Thank you for being a part of the DeSales Family!
