How do I register my child for school?
If you are new to our area or would like your child to attend one of our schools, simply visit the school office that your child would attend. We will be happy to help you fill out the necessary paperwork for registration. When you come, please be sure to bring the following documents with you:
- Your child’s birth certificate
- Your child’s immunization records
- Proof of residency (in the form of a utility bill)
- Any records from your child’s previous school

How do I donate funds to receive a tax credit?
All you need to do is download and print the form found on our Tax Credit page. Fill it out, and bring it in to the school office. It’s that easy!
What do I do if my child is late to school?
Tardies affect the entire class, so we appreciate all students who get to school on time. If your child must be late, we ask him or her to stop by the office and get a pass before heading to class.
My child needs to be absent. How do I proceed?
If you know your child must be absent, please send a note to your child’s teacher explaining the circumstances and dates of the absence. We will try our best to get any work together that your child might miss. If your child is sick, please call the office the morning of the absence, and let us know where your child is. Not only do we want to make sure your child is safe, we also want to mark your child as “excused.” If we do not receive a call or note explaining the absence, we will record it as “unexcused.”
