Have a Sharpie handy?

If not, you'd better go buy some.

A lot of them. Don't wait for the fancy name label deal site ads to start showing up in your email in September...

Start writing names inside everything your new little Kindergartner is going to be bringing to Bagley. Favorite hoodie? Tag it! Camelbak? Mark it now...you know everyone else has the same one! Even those little plastic lunch box containers go missing... and even though we donate this stuff, wouldn't you rather bring it back home?

The first day of school, our Lost and Found looks like this:

Lost and Found, first day of school - Sept, 2012

And this is what it looks like a few weeks later

Still planning to take a tour?  Here's your chance:

Tues., Feb. 19, 2013, 6-7 p.m.

No kids, please.  Just show up!

Open Enrollment is Feb 25-March 8, 2013

Are you ready for open enrollment?  SPS Open Enrollment info is here.

This is your only chance to:

(a) apply for Bagley if you are out of the area

(b) apply for Montessori

It's also an opportunity to sign up if you are in the area.  Although this can be done at any time, since you're guaranteed a spot in the contemporary program if you live in the Bagley attendance area, it's nice to give the school an idea of who is coming.  It lets SPS begin the process of assigning spots to the people who apply during open enrollment.

Scan through old posts for more information about the enrollment process.  Look for the label 'registration' and take a spin through this post from last year.
