As we begin planning for the 2026-2027 school year, we ask families to submit a response to the Intent to Return Form ONLY if your student will NOT be returning next year.

A great deal of preparation goes into planning for the next school year, including staffing, class sizes, scheduling, and resources. Having accurate enrollment information as early as possible is extremely important and directly impacts our ability to plan effectively and provide the best experience for all students.

If your student will not be returning, please complete the form here by the deadline, February 9, 2026. If we do not receive a response from you, we will assume your student will be returning next year.

Thank you for your time and cooperation. We truly appreciate your help as we prepare for a successful year ahead. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
