Dear Parents/Guardians,

If for any reason you don’t have your child's Birth Certificate or don't want to disclose your child’s birth country, you will be able to provide that information later when completing the “Students Information Update Sheet” during the school year. Completing this information helps your child’s school secure additional funding to support its educational program.
