WHEN CAN MY CHILD BEGIN CLASSES?

At the elementary (grades K-4) and middle school level (grades 5-8), the principal will make a homeroom assignment, notify the teachers and the Transportation Department, and gather an extra desk and books. You will then be notified by the building secretary or middle school counselors of the child’s homeroom assignment and bus information and the date your child can start classes:
