After the student has been formally accepted, “additional information about the student, such as date of birth, race/ethnicity, special education status, disability data, etc. This information is used to fulfill state and federal reporting requirements, place the student in an appropriate program or class, and identify resources or supports the charter school will provide to enable the student to succeed.”
The enrollment form is provided to families once their student has been formally accepted in order to register him or her at the charter school. It is also known as an enrollment packet, registration form, registration packet, etc. In addition, all parents and guardians enrolling a student must complete a Minnesota Language Survey which should be on a separate page of the enrollment packet.
After the open enrollment period ends, if the number of student applications exceeds the space available, a lottery will be held the week following the enrollment deadline. If the number of applications does not exceed the space available at a given grade level, all applicants will be admitted, and the enrollment process will continue.
Applications will continue to be accepted after the open enrollment period, admitting students at grade levels with space available and placing students on the waitlist once the lottery has been completed for grade levels already at capacity.
