New This Year: Rather than completing paper registration packets, all 7th-grade families will register their 7th-grade student via our online registration platform, SchoolMint. The registration window for all 7th-grade students is December 2 - 13, 2024. When registering, please pay careful attention to select the correct school year for your online application.
