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.

Coming Soon: Regional Support Hubs – "Pop Out & Register"

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.

Stay Tuned: Locations, dates, and times are being finalized and will be shared soon.
