How does the enrollment process work?
Returning students and any family members of past or present students may apply for enrollment before any new students may enroll. Re-registration forms are sent home to all preschool through second grade students several weeks in advance and are also available by request in the office and posted on our website.

Enrollment is then opened up to new students. Parents of new students are encouraged to tour the school during a regular school day before submitting an application. If there are any remaining vacancies not filled during the formal registration period they may be filled at any time thereafter.

When is the registration deadline for the 2010-2011 school year?

Returning students: Friday, February 12, 2010
New students: Friday, March 5, 2010

How do you process enrollment applications?
Applications are first organized by requested schedule and teacher. If a student’s first choice of is no longer available when their application is processed, they will be included on the list for their second choice. If we are unable to fulfill your request with any alternatives you have listed you will receive a call within two weeks after the deadline to discuss other alternatives.

Any re-registration forms received after the deadline are processed in the order they are received. This same process also is used for new student registrations. After the new student registration deadline any registration forms will be processed in the order they are received.

How do you prioritize enrollment applications?
By providing an advanced enrollment period for returning students, we aim to provide them with their first choice of teacher and schedule, however, any applications received after the deadline will be processed in the order received.

Among applications received by the deadline, priority is granted as follows:

• Requests for full days have priority over half days.
• Returning students have priority over new students.
• Siblings of returning students have priority over new students.

What if I don’t get what I requested?
If you are unable to get a morning class, you may request an afternoon spot and request to be added to the morning waiting list. If we cannot fulfill your request we will send a letter to you within two weeks of the registration deadline to outline your options.

How and when will I receive confirmation of my registration?
Initially no news is good news, as it means we were able to process your application as requested. If we are unable fulfill your request, we will contact you as soon as possible if we have an alternative to discuss with you. However, if we are able to give you the classes and days you request, you will not hear from us until we send you a registration confirmation letter and summer school brochure near the end of March.
