Students whose names were not drawn for enrollment during the Lottery process will be placed on the waiting list for the applicable grade. As places become available, waiting list students will be contacted by e-mail and phone to finalize enrollment. The order of the waiting list is subject to change based on the following:

• When an employee is hired after the lottery, their children move up on the waiting list following children of employees previously hired.
• When a student is accepted through the lottery process but their sibling isn’t, their sibling moves up on the waiting list.

Will we have to apply again next year?

Yes! Each year's waitlist and lotteryis independent from the previous year. This means that if your child is on the current school years waitlist and you want them to try to enroll for an upcoming school year, you will need to apply again for the new school year. Returning applicants should click here to login to their parent portal and reapply.
