2026–2027 School Year Registration – Deadline: May 1st!
Registration for the 2026–2027 school year will open soon and must be completed by May 1, 2026. This deadline is critical—all families, including those with returning students, are required to complete registration by this date.
Returning students are not automatically registered. If your student plans to return next school year, you must complete registration no later than May 1, 2026 to ensure a smooth start to the school year.
If your student will not be returning, you are still required to complete the registration form and indicate your plans within the form. This helps the District plan accurately for staffing, scheduling, and transportation.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important requirement and for helping us prepare for a successful school year.
