There were a total of 237 registrations for Session II for the winter quarter; the three year old classes had 109 registrations. There were 107 registrations for the four-year old classes, and the Junior Kindergarten program had 21 registrations.

At the Emerald Glen Activity Center the four-year old Monday/Wednesday/Friday afternoon class was canceled due to low enrollment, however, the Tuesday/Thursday classes continued being offered. At the Shannon Community Center the afternoon Monday/Wednesday/Friday and Tuesday/Thursday four-year old class were also canceled due to low enrollment.
