Dear Parents,

This is a friendly reminder that we will be offering in-person registration support in the gym on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week from 2:45–3:50 PM for any families who need assistance completing the process.

We are currently at 32.2% registered and are working hard to reach our goal of 50% by Friday. Completing registration now helps us plan effectively for next school year, including staffing, resources, and student support.

Don’t forget! We also have 2 fun incentives!

The top three classes with the highest registration completion will earn an ice cream celebration. Be sure to help your child’s class stay in the running!

Once a student's entire registration is complete including uploaded documents, the family will receive a car decal.

Thank you for taking the time to complete your child’s registration and for supporting our school.

Warm regards,
Western Hills Elementary
