Dear Burnham Families,

Monday, August 10: 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

Tuesday, August 11: 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

Wednesday, August 12: 3:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m.

Thursday, August 13: 3:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m.

These new dates replace the previously announced registration dates. Registration is required for all new and returning students.

We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your patience and flexibility as construction work is completed. We look forward to welcoming our Burnham families during registration!
