After your registration form is approved, you will receive an invoice from Brightwheel for the fees. Payment can be directly online through Brightwheel and must be paid within 72 hours to reserve your child's spot.

Tips for Registering on Brightwheel:
-Double-check the student name, often auto-filling the form will change the student name back to the parent name
- Be ready with the following information- student name and birthdate, parents names and contact information, and class choice.
-Complete another form for child care. At this time we are doing separate forms for Summer Child Care and School-year Child Care. Summer Child Care registration fee goes towards snacks, milk, and field trips for the summer. School- year child care fees are due to hold your child's spot and will be applied to your last child care invoice in May.
-Send us a message if you have a question! We answer email and Brightwheel messages within 24 hours, but often sooner.
