1. BEGIN ONLINE PRE-REGISTRATION 
— one form per family

Please note there are 5 sections to the online registration form (Household Information, Guardian Contacts, Emergency Contacts, Student Information, and Account Information). You will need to fill out all 5 sections before being able to submit the form. A valid parent/guardian email address is required. Please enter all students within the same online registration form. You should only need to enter the household and guardian contact information one time.

Once you begin the online form, you will not be able to stop and continue later. It will not save and you will have to start over. Therefore, please have information on all the students you are registering readily available. They should be registered in the same sitting in the Student Information section. The form should take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
