Officials at Beaver Schools have announced enrollment dates for junior high and high school students.

Those students will enroll for the 2008-09 school year on the following dates:

Grades 10-12 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 10 and grades 7-9 on Friday July 11 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Enrollment packets will be available outside Mr. Kinsey’s office beginning on July 1. Patrons need to pick up the packets in advance and have them completely filled out before enrollment.

"This will vastly speed up the entire process," Principal Mike McVay said.

School personnel will also be on hand to accept payments for class dues, activity passes, lunches, etc. Any students who have outstanding debts from the previous school year will not be allowed to complete the enrollment process until they have paid those debts.

No early enrollment will be allowed.

For more information, contact the school at 625-3444.
