    Why is timely registration important?

    The sooner that SPARK knows a final student count, the better we can prepare needed class space and the right number of teachers.  Timely registration reduces the chances of “leveling” (adding a teacher due to unexpected class size, which splits up classrooms a few weeks after school starts).  When spring registration is held, families thinking of sending their child to SPARK for Kindergarten should register during this period. Families can always un-register with a phone call/email if plans change.
