The Standby Opportunity Plan is a procedure that may better your position on the Waiting List after the first day of school. One to two weeks before the first day of classes the school will send a letter explaining how to participate in this procedure.

Removal From Waiting List -- Please tell the school if you want your child’s name removed from the Waiting List as soon as you make that decision

 

Waiting List

It is your responsibility to notify the school of address or phone changes

If we try to contact you by mail and the mail is returned, or if we are unable to reach you at any of the phone numbers you provided, we will remove your child’s name from the school’s list

 

Address Changes
