Online Enrollment Update
Over the last 2 weeks, parents have been eagerly enrolling for the 2015-16 school year with the new PowerSchool registration plug-in, E-Registration. As of today, we have just over 72 percent of our students enrolled for the 2015-16 school year. We are also pleased with the numerous positive feedback responses we’ve received from parents on how the new process is extremely simple and easy for them to update their student’s information. Thank you to all the staff involved for your work and effort in making this positive transition possible! Online enrollment is still available to complete, so encourage your friends, family and neighbors to complete the process by logging into PowerSchool and clicking on E-Registration!
