“[It’s] Just extremely important to get them in here as quick as we possibly can, just so we can have a good idea of our numbers,” said Ben Jaques, Principal of Lewis and Clark Elementary School, “We can think about our staffing as well, but then we also just can start preparing our families.”
Children must be five years old on or before September 10th in order to be registered.
All children living on Malmstrom Air Force Base will register at Loy Elementary School.
