Re-Enrollment Forms Due

Friday, January 17

This is just a friendly reminder that currents students should submit their electronic re-enrollment survey to declare your intent to return to Willowwind for the 2014-2015 school year.  Once your intent has been received, a contract will be drafted for you.  Families submitting re-enrollment intentions by January 17th will receive an official contract by January 24th. We anticipate being fully enrolled next year, so please complete the survey early to ensure a spot at Willowwind for your child. Spots are limited.  We will start inviting new students to fill open spots on February 3, 2014.  This survey will also be used to enroll for 2014 Summer Preschool, and 2014-15 Before and After School Care. Please read this survey carefully and select the programs that you will need.  If you have any additional questions about this process please contact our administrative team directly.  Thank you!
