From the Heart - 04/05/2012

Our invitation and instructions for on-line registration went out last week on 4/4 to every returning family and new family via email from David Burroughs. Please take a few minutes right away to register your student(s). You received an email invitation per student and embedded in that email is your required snapcode for registration. Returning families, you will note some great improvements including many pre-populated fields. Be sure to update any changes you note. Also, we have added the ability to pay your registration and mandatory fees by credit card (4% service fee) by simply following the link provided on the registration form. A check written to SHS is still an option (with no fee.)

Deadline for registration and fee payment is Friday, April 20, 2012.

Please e-mail Susana Knapp or 425-451-1773 x156 if you have any questions.

Absences

Please e-mail Kerry Wyman at the front office if your student is home ill or if there are planned days that will be missed.
