Waiting List Procedures

All spaces are filled from the waiting list.  Families wishing to put their children on the waiting list should complete and return a registration form (with the nonrefundable $50 registration fee).  Once you have placed your child on the waiting list, he or she will remain on the list until space is available, or you notify us that you no longer are interested in enrolling your child. It is difficult to determine how long it might take for a space to open up after you register your child.
