NEW TO THE DISTRICT
Pre Kindergarten – 12th grade
We’re excited to welcome new families to the Cadet community! We are a close-knit district with a family atmosphere and BIG possibilities, and we believe the success of each student is a shared responsibility. We meet every student, and every family, where they are by putting kids first and fostering a sense of belonging, safety, and connection.
We are excited to welcome your child to the upcoming school year! While our online registration portal is currently open and we encourage you to complete it, please keep in mind that all students must still officially qualify for the Pre-K program.
To finalize your child's enrollment, we will host an in-person registration event in mid-July. At this event, you will need to present your qualifying documentation, and your child will complete any necessary eligibility testing.
