Readiness

It is recommended that students entering kindergarten be 5 years of age prior to September 1 of the school year, and students entering grade one be 6 years of age by the same date. This is to help ensure readiness for learning on the part of the student.  All students entering kindergarten must be 5 years of age as of the 31st of December of the current school year.

Registration Fees

There are registration fees in place for K-8.  At the time of registration, a general registration fee for each student is due.   Registration for the upcoming school year opens at the beginning of February.  The registration fee is $100 per student prior to the last school day of March and $150 after that date.
