Elementary School Families,
Good afternoon! This is a reminder to register your child for school if you have not already done so. Yes, we do have in person registration tomorrow (Tuesday, Aug. 2nd) from 9:00am to 4:00 pm, but just as an FYI, you will be filling things out on a Chromebook at the elementary school if you chose to do it that way. We do not have paper registration. Children who are not registered prior to the start of school will not be able to start on the first day of school. We look forward to having your kids back in the building. Call if you have any questions.
Mr. Kean
