Make requested payment of $75 registration fee when prompted to do so by the School Cash system and the SAFE Coordinator.

Below you will find S.A.F.E. program registration information and requirements details:
For a student to enroll in a S.A.F.E. program, the student must be enrolled at the same Rio Rancho Public Schools elementary school in which the S.A.F.E. program is located. For example, a Vista Grande Elementary School student can only register and attend the S.A.F.E. program at Vista Grande Elementary School.
S.A.F.E. opens pre-registration for the coming school year in April and May. This is done ONLY online and you must fill out the entire form. We strongly encourage families to complete the spring pre-registration. If the site is full OR the it is outside of the registration window, you will be added to the waitlist. As spots open, the waitlisted students will be added and you will be notified of your spot.
If a family does not register his/her child during spring pre-registration. Registration is ongoing throughout the school year beginning in August, depending upon the availability of space in your child's S.A.F.E. program.
S.A.F.E. enrollment is considered complete when the family completes the online registration, the application has been approved by the site coordinator, and the non-refundable $75 (per student) registration fee has been paid.
Tuition can only be paid using the online School Cash payment system.
If you cannot complete the registration process online, please work with the site coordinator of your child's school. He or she will make a computer available to complete the online registration.
After completing the online registration application, the parent will receive an email with the status of your application within 3-5 business days.
Please note that enrollment is determined on a first-come, first basis. Online registration forms are time and date-stamped.
When a S.A.F.E. site is full and the family has completed an online registration/application, an email will be sent stating that the child or children are on a waiting list.
We encourage families to complete the online registration/application during the pre-registration window and fill out the entire form. The S.A.F.E. coordinator will retain the information, and your student(s) will either be enrolled or placed on a waiting list.
S.A.F.E. registration must be completed each year. Do not assume that because your child was in S.A.F.E. during the current year, the child will automatically be registered for the coming year. Only students whose parents have completed the registration/application for the coming year and received a confirmation email or call/email from the coordinator stating as much are enrolled.
When space becomes available, the S.A.F.E. coordinator will communicate with families on the waiting list.
All children who attend S.A.F.E. must possess independent toileting skills.
