It is very important for parents to note that the Boundary Exemption/School of choice process has changed for the coming year!

In order to get a Boundary Exemption to a school of choice you MUST have your forms in to your designated school BEFORE March 15, 2010.  Your designated school Principal signs off on the form and then you take it to the school you would like to attend.

If you have any questions please contact R. Harbourne at the school.
