Dear Parents and Guardians, We are excited to welcome our students back for a great school year! If you have not yet started your online enrollment, please know that your child will not be allowed to attend class or school until the enrollment process is complete. If enrollment is completed today after 4:00 p.m., your child will still not be able to attend class tomorrow. This is because we need at least 24 hours to review and verify all documents, and during the school day, our focus will be on supporting the students already in the building. Completing your online enrollment as soon as possible will make sure your child has a smooth start and does not miss valuable instructional time. Thank you for your prompt attention and for partnering with us to make this school year a success! Sincerely, Amanda Bennett
