REGISTRATIONS - IMPORTANT

Dear SJA Parents and Guardians,

As you are aware, the re-registration season is upon us and we have recently sent home

packages with your child(ren). We value your loyalty and commitment to our school

community and would love to continue our partnership by offering priority enrollment for our

current SJA families.

We kindly ask that you take a moment to review your financial statement and complete the

information in the package and make any necessary changes to your place of residence,

employment, email changes or any medical information that the administration should be

aware of.

Please be aware that in order to secure your child’s enrolment, it is imperative that you submit
your re-enrollment package and fees no later than February 12, 2018 at 4:00pm. After this


date, all available grade-level spaces will be open to our families on waitlists who will then have

the opportunity to secure any vacant positions.

Regards,

Helen Markovic
