Intent to Re-Enroll Agreement
Complete Re-Enroll Agreement by March 24
Each year prior to conducting our admissions lottery, we ask families to re-enroll their children or notify us if they are considering withdrawing. In an effort to simplify this practice, we no longer require parents/guardians to complete a re-enrollment packet.
PLEASE COMPLETE THIS INTENT TO RE-ENROLL agreement to convey your intentions for the 2025/26 school year. This information is important to our admissions team, to ascertain how many open seats we will fill in our up-coming lottery this April.
April 3 Picture Days
Kindergarten Cap & Gown and 8th Grade Diploma Make Ups
April 3 is a chance for Kindergarteners who missed Cap & Gown Picture Day to have a make up photo taken and for 8th graders who need to make up their photos for their diplomas.
