    • Optimize transportation routes and ensure all bus stops serve students effectively.
    • Plan for adequate staffing and resources for before and after care programs.

    Priority Registration Period

    Families are strongly encouraged to register early during the priority registration window, January 21st – March 8th, 2025. Registrations completed within this timeframe will have priority access to transportation and before/after school care services. Registrations will still be accepted after March 8th, but families who register after this date will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis for these services.

    How SLPS Will Keep Families Informed

    SLPS is committed to ensuring all families are aware of this new process. Information will be shared through district and school communication channels, so families have all the details they need to complete registration successfully.
