Dear P.L. Julian Families,
We want to inform you that our 21st Century Before & After School Program at Percy L. Julian will officially end for the school year this Friday, May 1, 2026.
We are incredibly grateful for your support and partnership throughout the program. Because of our strong community, we were able to reach our program goals early this year. Thank you!
As we prepare to wrap up the program, please plan ahead for your child’s daily schedule:
-Before and after school programming will no longer be available after May 1.
-Please make arrangements for how your child will get to school and home each day.
-Morning drop-off begins at 8:00 AM. Students should not arrive earlier, as there is no supervision before this time.

Next week will be the final week of programming, and students will be reminded at school. Flyers will also be sent home to families.
Thank you again for allowing your child to be part of such a meaningful experience. We are proud of all our students have accomplished this year and can't wait for next year!

🚨 URGENT: Re-Registration Required for the 2026–2027 School Year 🚨
Dear Eagle Families,
We need your immediate attention. All students must be re-registered for next school year as soon as possible. If you have not completed online enrollment yet, please do so right away.
Important: Registration does NOT roll over from this year to next year. Even if your child is currently enrolled at P.L. Julian, you must re-register each year to secure their spot.
This is not just a routine step, it is critical to your child’s placement and our ability to plan for a strong school year.
❗ Why this is URGENT:
🔒 Your child’s seat is not guaranteed until re-registration is complete
👩🏫 Staffing decisions depend on accurate enrollment numbers – this impacts class sizes and teacher assignments
📚 Class schedules and placements cannot be finalized without registration
🚌 Transportation, programs, and services (including intervention, special education, bus routes, and extracurriculars) rely on this information
🍎 We plan resources, materials, and supplies based on confirmed students
🏫 Delays create disruptions to a smooth and successful start to the school year for all students
⏰ What happens if you wait?
Waiting to register can result in:
-Larger class sizes
-Delayed class placement
-Limited availability in programs
-Potential loss of your child’s spot at Julian
✅ What you need to do:
Please complete your child’s re-registration TODAY using the link provided below. Please contact the front office at 602-232-4950 if you need support. We are here to help.
