You can check your child’s correct grade level here. Please be sure to put in 2024/25 school year before entering in your child's birthdate. 

If Short Ave is your designated school of residence, you are guaranteed enrollment. Below is the boundary map. You can also check your address here.

Non-Resident Applicants Needing a Permit

Families who do not live in our resident neighborhood area, and wish to permit in, will need to attend one of our tours in order to join the waitlist. Please see the TOURS page on this website for tour information. It does not matter which tour you attend, our waitlist is not first come first serve. We will determine how many spots we have left after our resident neighborhood families have enrolled. Sometime in late spring, we will choose names from our waitlist cards at random, keeping in mind that we need to have balanced classes.   Please be aware that there will be limited permit spots available for all grade levels, especially Kindergarten and 1st grade.
