Attendance/Registration Attendance/Registration

Dear families,

As we approach the end of the school year, attendance continues to be very important. Every school day counts, and we encourage all students to come to school every day and arrive on time so they can continue learning and finish the year strong.


We also want to remind families that registration is now open. Please make sure to complete your child’s registration as soon as possible and upload a current proof of address to avoid delays.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership throughout the school year!



Estimadas famillias,

Ahora que nos acercamos al final del año escolar, la asistencia continúa siendo muy importante. Cada día de clases cuenta, y les pedimos que animen a sus estudiantes a asistir todos los días y llegar a tiempo para que continúen aprendiendo y terminen el año con éxito.


También queremos recordarles que la inscripción ya está abierta. Por favor asegúrense de completar la inscripción de su estudiante lo antes posible y subir un comprobante de domicilio actualizado para evitar retrasos.

¡Gracias por su continuo apoyo y colaboración durante el año escolar!
