Returning families - Skyward registration is now open. You received an email with instructions for your Skyward portal. Do not be concerned that currently there are no past or current fees or lunch balances in the system. Please follow instructions in the email to register your returning students asap. If you have questions, please email the school. EDIT: It looks like the system will show you haven't registered (even if you filled it out) until it is able to be accepted on the school's end. We will do that next week.
