Frequently Asked Questions
Q. After I register online, will I need to attend my student(s) parent help time?
A. No. If you need to pay fees using a check or cash, turn in any paperwork, or would like to speak with somebody about specific questions you have regarding the upcoming school year, you are welcome to attend the help time.

Q. After I provide my information online will I still need to complete the paper registration form?
A. No. We are no longer using a paper enrollment form to re-enroll or enroll new students.

Q. Is the information I submit online secure?
