Supporting Our Families: 2026–27 District Registration Nights
As we prepare for the 2026–27 school year, we are asking all school leaders to help us share a critical message: annual student registration is required for every student. To support our families in this process, schools will host on-site District Registration Nights. These sessions are designed to provide hands-on assistance, offer guidance on school choice, and answer any questions our community may have.
District Registration Night Schedule
Please ensure your building is prepared to host families on your designated night:
- Elementary Schools: TBD
- Middle & K-8 Schools: TBD
- High Schools: TBD
We appreciate your leadership in hosting these sessions to ensure every student is registered. Final dates and logistics will be shared as soon as they are confirmed.

The District is bringing registration assistance directly into the community! Our Regional Support Hubs will provide in-person assistance to ensure every family is prepared for the 2026-27 school year.
What to Expect:
- Families can visit these regional stations to receive hands-on help with the mandatory registration process, school choice guidance, and answer questions.
- Hubs will be strategically located in areas with lower registration volumes to ensure no family is left behind.
