Registration Timeline
In order to be included in the first round of
registration, forms MUST be in our office
by May 1st. As in previous years, regis-
trations will be put into a lottery if more
people have registered than there are
spaces available.
Class Confirmation
Confirmation emails will be sent out on
May 15th. If you do not have an email
address, a confirmation letter will be
mailed to you on May 15th.
We will continue to take registrations
throughout the school year if there are
openings.
Selecting a class
We enroll according to the age a child is
on 9/01/18. For example, if you are
enrolling in a 3-year-old class, your child
must have turned three on or before
9/01/18.
Multiple Classes
In order to serve as many families as pos-
sible, we allow a family to be registered in
only one class at a time. Special topic
classes are the exception.
Attendance
Out of respect for families on a waiting
list, consistent attendance will be
expected.
ECFE Registration & Tuition Information

The ECFE program depends upon fees from participants to
maintain its scope of services. Fees are based on a sliding scale
determined by family income. Those who are unable to pay are still
welcome, but we ask that you contact the ECFE office to discuss
arrangements that can be made. All payments are confidential.
Do NOT send any money with your registration form!
Once you are registered, you will receive a tuition statement in the
mail three times during the school year:

MN Department of Education Shares 2017 Graduation Rates
This week the Minnesota Department of Education released data which shows progress in increasing the 4-year, on-time graduation rate for Duluth Public Schools:
• Denfeld High School’s graduation rate increased from 73.86 in 2016 to 80.36 in 2017.
• Duluth East’s 92.94 graduation rate outperforms the state average of 82.68.
• Graduation rates for most student groups increased
• The district’s overall 4-year, on-time graduation rate increased from 75.13 in 2015-2016 to 76.04 in 2016-2017.
• The district’s 5-year graduation rate was 78.03, the 6-year rate was 80.95, and the 7-year rate was 80.67.
We appreciate everything you do to help students graduate on time! The work we’re doing to use data and collaboration to identify what each students needs and providing that support will continue. While this is good news there’s much yet to do to ensure all students have an opportunity to be successful and graduate on time.
Note that Minnesota is using a new method for calculating graduation rates. All rates dating back to 2011-2012 have been recalculated so they are comparable from year-to-year. These changes are a part of the state’s transition to its approved plan under the new federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
