Get to Know your Community 

 


SUN School Registration
 
My name is Monique Shellmire and I am the new SUN Site Manager here at Beach Elementary Community School! We have some awesome classes planned for this fall! There are 2 forms that will be crucial for signing your student up for the SUN School Program and both must be completed in order to participate.
  • Registration Form
  • Enrollment Form
The SEI Enrollment form covers all student and parent contact information as well as our liability waiver and emergency contact information. This form only has to be filled out once a year per student.  The second is the Registration form and it must be filled out every term. This is where you are able to choose which classes your student would like to be signed up for and is important for making sure they are registering for classes they will find fun and exciting. These forms will be given to students on 9/17 and 9/18 to bring home to you. Please fill out the Enrollment and Registration forms in their entirety and make sure to sign where you see a "Blue Arrow". Please return these forms to the SUN mailbox in the main office as soon as possible as the last day to turn in Enrollment and Registration forms will be 9/24. All forms will also be available in the main office on 9/19. Class confirmation letters will be sent out the 1st week of October. If you have any additional questions please feel free to email me at moniquesh@selfenhancement.org. Thank you so much for your time! It is going to be a phenomenal year! Go Bobcats!!!

Best,
Ms. Mo
