2025 - 2026 Intent to Return (Re-Enrollment) 
 

Re-Enrollment is the process by which The Main Street Academy indicates to current students and parents/guardians our desire to continue our relationship for the upcoming school year. For your child to continue their education with TMSA, each child must be "re-enrolled" through our online process. There are a limited number of seats available in each grade level, so we must confirm your child’s return during this Re-Enrollment period. If you do not confirm by the deadline, your child’s seat cannot be guaranteed. TMSA's annual re-enrollment process begins every January.  

  

The Intent to Return/Re-Enrollment period for existing TMSA students begins at 12:00 a.m./midnight on Monday, January 6, 2025, and closes at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, January 27, 2025. There are no exceptions. Upon completing the Intent to Return Form via SchoolMint, TMSA parents/guardians must submit two proofs of residency from the lists below reflecting their name and current residential address. It's imperative for TMSA parents/guardians to adhere to the re-enrollment window to ensure their students' seats for the 2025 - 2026 academic school year.
