Completing this pre-registration will make the finalization process at District Registration much smoother.

If you are interested in your child attending Preschool for the 26/27 school year (must be 3 or 4 years old by August 1, 2026), use the same link to register. Your child will have to be screened at our Preschool Registration in July to determine eligibility for Preschool.

We are sharing some tips with you to help prepare your child for school in the fall! We are looking forward to welcoming our Little Cats to school in August!!
