MESA, Ariz. —University Public Schools, an affiliate of Arizona State University, is holding orientations for enrollment and registration in the Polytechnic Center of Education Innovation, located at ASU’s Polytechnic campus.

The orientation meetings will cover school calendar for grades K-6, times, family involvement, before- and after-school child care, openings per grade level, classrooms, student lunches and attire. Also at the meetings, the state-required and school-required registration materials will be reviewed in order to ensure complete registration packages.
