Registration for Returning Students

Families must provide proof of residency and verify emergency contact information through an online registration process prior to the start of the new school year.

Returning student registration for the upcoming school year is available on July 25th! Completing this process fulfills our annual residency verification expectation and ensures we have accurate emergency contact information for each student. Registration must be complete by August 8th. 

Step 1: Application for Free or Reduced Priced Meals through the USDA

Free and Reduced Price Meals are available to families who qualify. A household of four with a total household monthly pre-tax take-home income of $4,625.00, or $55,500.00 annually, would qualify for benefits.
