Returning Student Online Registration Clarifying Information
1. Returning Student Registration has to be completed by a guardian/parent ONLY. This cannot be completed on the Student Access (this is currently locked). Also, Skyward Login Information cannot be given out to Non-Guardians/Custodians.
2. At this time we are still a CEP school for 2025-26, which means Breakfast and Lunch is Free. We still need Food Service Applications filled out though due to using them for other purposes such as state and federal funding.
3. Also, a big thank you to all who have completed their Online Registrations!!!
