Applicant families are strongly encouraged to attend an information session. Each information session features a formal presentation by the school principal, followed by a question & answer session. No RSVP is required. Please note that sessions do not include a tour of building facilities.
*Students who participate in the lottery with a preference but are unable to substantiate that preference will be placed at the end of the waitlist. Parents/guardians must provide proof of birth and district residency upon registration.
