No class will have more than 20 students.

The form should be completed online, and the enrollment materials are to be held until after the placement process. (The following materials will be needed to complete the enrollment process: birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residency.) The placement request form will close at noon on Friday, March 15, 2024.
