Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope you are doing well.
Registration for the 2026–2027 school year will begin on April 1st. Our goal is to have all 450 current students fully registered before the end of April. Achieving this goal is very important, as it allows us to plan class placements more effectively and focus on enrolling new students and reviewing documents during the summer.
We truly need your support to make this happen and would love to be one of the first schools to reach 100% registration as quickly as possible.
We are including a flyer with step-by-step instructions to help you complete your child’s registration, along with a list of the required documents.
Please keep the following in mind when completing registration:
If documents are NOT uploaded, the registration will be considered INCOMPLETE.
Proof of residence must be from the month of APRIL.
To make this process fun and exciting for our students, we will be having a classroom competition! The first 5 classrooms to complete their registration will win prizes:
• 🥇 1st place: Pizza Party
• 🥈 2nd place: Popcorn Party
• 🥉 3rd place: Ice Cream Party
• 4th & 5th place: 10 extra minutes of recess
Please note that if your child will not be returning next school year, you may inform the school, and they will not count toward the classroom totals.
We encourage you to complete your registration as soon as possible to give your child’s class a chance to win and to help our school reach our goal.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.


Estimados padres y tutores,
Esperamos que se encuentren bien.
La inscripción para el año escolar 2026–2027 comenzará el 1 de abril. Nuestra meta es tener a los 450 estudiantes actuales completamente inscritos antes de que termine el mes de abril. Lograr esta meta es muy importante, ya que nos permitirá planificar mejor la organización de los grupos y enfocarnos en la inscripción de nuevos estudiantes y la revisión de documentos durante el verano.
Realmente necesitamos de su apoyo para lograrlo, y nos encantaría ser una de las primeras escuelas en alcanzar el 100% de inscripción lo antes posible.
Adjuntaremos un folleto con instrucciones paso a paso para ayudarles a completar la inscripción de su hijo(a), junto con la lista de documentos requeridos.
Por favor, tomen en cuenta lo siguiente al completar la inscripción:
Si NO se suben los documentos, la inscripción se considerará INCOMPLETA.
El comprobante de domicilio debe ser del mes de ABRIL.
Para hacer este proceso más divertido y motivador para nuestros estudiantes, tendremos una competencia entre salones. Los primeros 5 salones que completen su inscripción ganarán premios:
• 🥇 1er lugar: Fiesta de pizza
• 🥈 2do lugar: Fiesta de palomitas
• 🥉 3er lugar: Fiesta de helado
• 4to y 5to lugar: 10 minutos extra de recreo
Por favor, tomen en cuenta que si su hijo(a) no regresará el próximo año escolar, pueden informarlo a la escuela y no se contará dentro del total del salón.
Les animamos a completar la inscripción lo antes posible para apoyar al salón de su hijo(a) y ayudar a nuestra escuela a alcanzar esta importante meta.
Si tienen alguna pregunta o necesitan ayuda, no duden en comunicarse con nosotros.
Gracias por su continuo apoyo y colaboración.
