Registration process

1. When registration is open, click on the brightwheel link above to fill out the new student application. Verify that your       child will be age-eligible for the class that you are applying for.
2. Submit your application
     Once your application is submitted, it will be processed and approved if space is available in the requested class. If           so, a $100 non-refundable application fee will be added to your account. You will then have up to 2 days to pay the             application fee and your child's spot on the roster will be held during this time.
     *If the class you wish to register is full, your child will be placed on a waiting list and you will receive an email                    indicating this. The application fee will not be added at this point. You will be contacted should a spot become                      available.
3. Confirmation
     Once the registration fee is received, your child will be placed on the roster. You will receive an email                                     confirmation from brightwheel indicating which class your child will be in.
4. Once your child is enrolled, you will be asked to pick up and complete a packet of forms. Forms are due to the ANS            office by May 1, 2023. In addition to these forms, you are required to submit a copy of your child's current heath exam      (good for one year from the date of the exam) and a copy of your child's immunization records.
​5. You will be notified about your child's classroom assignment in August.
