A message from
Dr. Mark Sullivan
We are nearing the end of another school year. That means a lot of things – prom, graduation, final exams. But it also means that it’s time to get ready for another school year 2025-26!
​
We want all students to be ready on day one in August, and early registration is a major key to getting ready. The registration portal is open now, and we want all current students to complete registration before May 31. Pre-registration will help ensure that the resources are in place for students when they begin the new school year.
Learn more about registration and other topics in Dr. Sullivan’s weekly video message here.
