If withdrawing before the start of the Summer Term, families must notify the Registrar of their intent to withdraw and complete a Refund Request Form.

- Families interested in registering for more than one class for their child may sign up for one class during the lottery, then submit a separate application for the additional class after May 1st. The second application will place the family on the wait-list for the class. If there are still openings in the class as of August 31st, the family may be enrolled in the additional class. Each family that registers for more than one class will pay one registration fee and be required to perform a school wash for each class and take on two jobs or one pre-reg position.
