• Waitlist: 
  • Our website allows for a waitlist after a class maximum has been reached.
  • Only website Admin can drop a student from a class and/or move a child from the waitlist into the class.
  • Parents/Teachers/Service Council work together to make sure sign-ups are honored in the order they were received.
• Closed or Open Rosters:
  • Some classes close enrollment after add/drop knowing it would be difficult for a student to catch up on the material already covered.
  • Others leave open their remaining class spots knowing a new student can "jump in" at any time throughout the year. Teachers communicate their preference with the Service Council.
