Note from Mr. Dubinsky

🚨 Please complete 2026-27 registration as soon as possible

Thank you to the families who have registered for the 2026-27 school year. If you have not yet completed registration, please complete that step as soon as possible.

Families should use the individualized “SnapCode” that was sent in the U.S. mail to finish registering. If you did not receive your SnapCode, or you misplaced your SnapCode, please contact our school to re-prove residency.

It is important to complete registration as soon as possible so the district can plan for staffing and supplies. Delaying registration could mean your student is not able to attend their neighborhood school. More info: https://bit.ly/3PXiVhJ
