🚨ATTENTION PLEASE READ🚨 

Class Selection Guidelines

Parents, please help your child choose up to 4 classes in their grade/age level.

To keep class sizes balanced, we ask that students register only within their own age group. If you notice a class your child would enjoy but it isn’t available for their grade, don’t worry—we rotate and add new classes each semester, so it will come back at the right level for them.

If you feel your child may not be ready for their grade level, please reach out to Mrs. Angela. We want every student to feel comfortable and confident. For example, if your child is still building reading skills, a class with heavy reading/writing expectations may not be the best fit right now.

At this time, “grading up” into older age groups is not allowed.

📌 The Student Class Registration Form is available on the HOME page of our website (top of the page).

Thank you for helping us create a positive and encouraging learning environment for all students!
