Reminder- Kindergarten registration is TOMORROW!
Students MUST register at the school they are zoned for.
During registration, families can request an out-of-zone application if they are interested. Placement decisions will be made after enrollment numbers are finalizied and available seats are determined.
Families should indicate during registration if the upcoming kindergarten student has a sibling currently attending the requested school, as sibling priority will be considered before any additional seats are offered.
Additionally, enrollment in Pre-K at a certain school DOES NOT guarantee placement for kindergarten (unless that is where the student is zoned for).

Make sure to read the details so you come prepared to sign up your kindergartener!

We have also re-shared the link to the pre-k application in the comments.
