What's prompting this announcement is that the school district has historically dealt with parents registering their kids late, and not realizing all the above requirements.

Interestingly, the district said they're anticipating fewer late registrations for the fact that the 2009-2010 school year is the first traditional school year in 18 years, with classes starting in August instead of July. But nonetheless, wants to get the word out early.
