This one-hour Zoom workshop is exclusively about TK enrollment – you’ll learn how the online enrollment process works, how Choice may factor in for some families, what happens if your school of residence is full, and the priority rules for TK placement. We’ll also answer common questions (like TK age requirements) and save time for live Q&A.
