2020-2021 School Year ~ Registration Process 

All Students (new entrants - all grades, UPK, K) 

UPDATE: Due to the Governor’s Executive Order mandating schools across New York State remain closed through the end of the 2019-2020 school year, all registration appointments were handled remotely during this period of closure.  

We will begin in-person registration starting July 1, 2020 by appointment only. Please call the registration department at 326-1300 to schedule your appointment. You must have a photo ID to enter the building and wear a mask for your appointment. At this time, we are asking that only one parent/guardian arrive for the appointment. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
