REGISTRATION AND FINANCIAL AID – We are now nearing the end of our preliminary budgetary process.  Unfortunately there are still several families who have not sent back their registrations even though you have told me you are returning.  Our business manager will only include those names who have registered and either are current with tuition or have made other arrangements.  Please realize the importance in letting us know of your intentions.
