Registration in English and Spanish
Families can register in English or Spanish. Breeze's help center says it doesn't support other languages and suggests using Chrome's page translation.
E-signed waivers
Parents sign waivers and forms online, and registration can't finish without the required ones. Breeze forms have no digital signature field; its help center suggests a typed name or uploading a signed copy.
Waitlists and bank payments
