Hello ACE families,
Registration for the 2026-2027 school year has begun! Currently enrolled families will receive an email from Mrs.Morris@ACEClassicalEd.org with the link to update your child’s registration form. Updating enrollment for the next school year is a quick process. If you are enrolling a sibling, the link to that enrollment form is also included in your email. If you don’t receive the registration link to your ACE email account, check your junk/spam folder. Let me know if you still can’t locate it, so this can be re-sent. ACE pre-registration to the general public begins at the end of this month, so securing your class spot now is very helpful in our planning stages for next year.
