Thursday Folder Flyers:


Happy Thanksgiving! 
The staff at Iron Horse wishes you a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with family and friends! The blog will return the week of November 26th. 


Kindergarten Registration 2019-2020:
Kindergarten registration starts on December 11th! Registration packets will be available after school, either on the website or at the front door, on December 10th.

We will have both tuition-based full day classes and a non-tuition-based AM kindergarten class next year. Registration is a first come, first served process. In order to register, you will need to bring your child's birth certificate, proof of residence, and complete a registration packet. Full day class registration also requires a $100 deposit. Tuition for the 2019-20 school year has not yet been determined, but is expected to be around $3500.00 for the year. More information can be received by contacting Janet Nolan, our registrar. 

Open Enrollment:
The first round of open enrollment is available now and closes December 3rd. Notifications of acceptance will be forwarded to families by December 7th. Families must accept or deny offers. Decisions to accept or deny offers for first round open enrollment must be received by December 17th at 4:00pm. Second round open enrollment opens January 22nd through August 1st, 2019.
