Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope this letter finds you well. As we prepare for the upcoming 2024-2025 registration, we would like to inform you of some important changes to the registration process that will help us secure crucial funding from the California Department of Education.

This year, in an effort to prioritize our younger students and align with funding protocols, we will be staggering the registration dates for different grade levels. Here is the schedule for registration:

• Grades TK-6: Registration opens on May 1st
• Grades 7-8: Registration opens on May 5th



Please note that any registrations for 7th-8th grade received before May 5th will be timestamped for May 5th to ensure compliance in the process. The registration portal will go live on May 1st at Noon. We encourage you to mark your calendars and note the route your student will be riding in advance to ensure a smooth and timely registration for your child.

We understand that change can be challenging, but please rest assured that these adjustments are made with the best interest of our students and school community in mind. We are committed to providing the best possible experience for all our riders, and this new approach to registration is a step towards that goal.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We are here to assist you through this process. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Warm regards,

Whitney Simon
