Important Notice: Car-Tag Registration
Car-tag registration is quickly reaching maximum capacity. To ensure the safety of our students and maintain an efficient dismissal process, we are temporarily pausing all new car-tag registrations.
We will evaluate traffic flow and dismissal procedures during the first few days of school. After this assessment, we will determine whether additional car-tag registrations can be accommodated and will notify families when registration reopens.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we work to provide a safe and efficient dismissal process for all students.
