On May 1, the 2008-2009 registration packets were sent home with elementary students in their backpacks and mailed to middle school parents. On July 1, packets will be mailed to high school parents.

Registration forms and fees for elementary and middle school students are due back at the schools by May 15. High school information is due back by July 15.

Also beginning this year, parents will have additional options for returning forms and paying fees, all of which the registration packets explain. Among other improvements, the changes mean that parents of elementary students will not have to return to school in early August.  Parents of middle school students also will have the option of not returning.  In addition, high school students and their parents who register by July 15 will move quicker through shorter lines at the high school in August.
