Nearly 180 students were pre-registered this year using Skyward and being able to mail in their fees.  This new registration system cut down on the time spent waiting in line for all of the rest that came in on August 4.  Thanks to Mrs. Reike and Mrs. Cook for all of their hard work getting this organized!
