Step 1. Complete ALMA Start Digital Registration Process

This is our secure formal registration process which includes providing the school with contact information for the child and guardians, medical information for the child, and permission forms for accessing technology and resources at school. This can be completed on a computer or mobile device. The forms provide opportunities to scan/take photos of important documents to upload. Please be sure to have contact information for all guardians, emergency contacts and for your child's physicians at the ready, along with any forms required in Step 2.
