Hindi Class Registration
Dear Members,
Jai Jinendra,
The Hindi Class Registration for Year 2024-2025 is up on the JSGD.org or directly on our website (https://forms.gle/FnaxqAJFfj9aHNRHA). We would request you all to submit the registration as soon as possible and assuming all of you are moving to the next class. We need to order the books from HindiUSA before they leave for their vacation, and hence we are trying to get the registrations for next year in Nov. The academic year for Hindi Class is Jan 2024-Jun 2025 as of now. If there are changes, we will communicate. Please share this link with other parents who would like to join the Hindi Class. Appreciate your help.
