Enrollment Process
Enrollment during COVID-19 School Closures:
 
During the school closures due to COVID-19, Orchard School will still continue to accept student enrollments for the 2020-2021 school year. Families who live within the school district boundaries can download the registration packet (link below), fill out the forms and gather the necessary documentation.
 
To submit to the school office during the school closures, families can e-mail the documents to schooloffice@orchardsd.org or drop off the completed enrollment packet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in June 2020 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. to the front office drop off window. 
 
The school front office can then be in communication with you about your child's enrollment. Any inquiries about the process can also be directed to schooloffice@orchardsd.org.
