Enrollment Appointments are no longer required, but are available as an option. The Online Registration applications are processed in the order they are received, provided all necessary documentation is uploaded to the application. Please take time to thoroughly review the necessary documents to ensure that your application is not delayed in processing.
When completing the Online Registration, please be careful to select the correct year and registration type for which you are enrolling:

- Families planning to submit a lottery application must have the Online Registration submitted with all necessary documents by February 21st for Middle/High School and by March 21st for Elementary School. This will ensure that you have the Parent Portal activation code by the lottery deadline.
