RETURNING STUDENTS ONLY !
Update 7/19/2019: Returning Student online registration is now Open!
Open House is approaching soon! The online process helps to reduce the number of paper forms sent home at the beginning of each school year.

To start the process, refer to the Snapcode Email you received between July 11th-July 12th. Within the email is the "snapcode link". By clicking on the link in the email, you are automatically entering your child's snapcode. You just need to log in to your account, or create an account if a first time user. Please check your spam folders if you do not see the email in your inbox.
If you have not received an email, we do not have a valid email address on file. Please call your child's school to have it added. After this has been updated in PowerSchool, please allow one business day to receive the returning student Snapcode email.
