In order to secure the materials (including laptop computers) needed for the beginning of school on August 20, we need to have all enrolling students complete the registration process by Friday, June 8.  Registration forms can be downloaded from our web site: JuanDiegoAcademy.org.  If you require any assistance with the registration process please contact us at 583-2752.
