We also recommend that you do not use Safari for a browser. If you do not have access to a computer, please go your neighborhood school and we will make one available to you! Paper registration forms are also available at all schools.

  •  If you are unable to upload the requested documents, please still submit the application and e-mail the documents to olr@sanford.org.

  • Please be sure to hit SUBMIT when you complete your application. You will then receive an email stating that your application is under review. This review process normally takes 1 to 3 business days.
