We look forward to seeing you there!

Open Enrollment

It’s time to begin planning for the 2025-2026 academic year! Open Enrollment for new incoming Kindergarteners will begin on February 1. Returning BOES students do not need to complete the Open Enrollment form for the 2025-2026 school year. Registration information for next year will be shared at a later date.



For now, I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few moments to complete the registration tracker form. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out—I’m happy to help.
