Howdy Wranglers! As Back to School quickly approaches, our Registrar would like to remind ALL families to make sure you have completed Registration for your child(ren). Rodes has several students in our 'pending' folder due to incomplete registration. PLEASE check your email (including SPAM/JUNK) for a return email with instructions on what may need to be fixed. Once it is completed and accepted, you will get an email stating so. Questions? Not sure? Give our office a call at 549-5940. We will be happy to help!
{PreK families: Registration is different than the application. Please see your acceptance email for directions.}
