WAITLIST
We currently have a waitlist of over 25 families. Once the Co-Op members have selected their classes, we then go down the waitlist (in order of registration) to see if there are classes that are still available that each family would be interested in. These families would still be considered on our waitlist for future semesters until a permanent opening becomes available.
