ENROLLMENT INFORMATION:
Registration for the coming school year starts each year in April. Families who are currently enrolled in School's Out have a set re-registration period during which their enrollment for the Fall is guaranteed. Once that time is up new families can register for the remaining slots. Open registration closes the last business day of April. If more families register than there is space a lottery will be held. Placement information for the coming school year will be sent via email by mid-May.
If you were on the waitlist you will need to re-register in April.
