Applications are continuously accepted through our online enrollment system.  If you do not have access to the internet or you need assistance, please contact our schools.  For additional information on applying for the upcoming school year, please see our Enrollment Q & A below.

​

Open Enrollment and Lottery

​

Open Enrollment for the 2019-2020 school year begins January 14th and ends February 15th, 2019.  All applications submitted within the Open Enrollment period will have an equal opportunity for admission, regardless of whether they are submitted on the first day or the last day of Open Enrollment.

If the number of applications submitted within the Open Enrollment period exceeds the number of seats available for any grade level, a system generated, random lottery will be processed to determine who is offered a seat at the school. Lottery results will be emailed to the address entered in the application. For more information regarding lottery preferences, enrollment, and registration, please read our Lottery Rules and Procedures.

Enrollment Q & A

​

How can I find out information about your school?

​

We encourage our interested families to attend an enrollment information session to find out more about our school’s programs and offerings as this is the perfect platform to ask your questions to faculty and staff. We also offer tours on an ongoing basis.  Visit our events page to see a list of information sessions and tours being offered. 

​

Are there age restrictions for school grade levels?

​

Louisiana Law specifies that children who have attained the age of five years by September 30th of the school year are eligible for admission to public kindergarten during that school year.

How can I apply if I do not have a computer or internet access? Contact our school for assistance.

Can I list all my children on one application? Each child’s application becomes part of their registration in our student information system where grades, schedules and attendance is stored.  Please complete a separate application for each one of your children and list the siblings within each application to receive sibling preference.

​

If my child is a current student, do I need to apply again?

​

No, your child automatically has a space in the appropriate grade if the Intent to Return for the next school year is completed by the deadline

.

If I have one child who currently attends your school and I would like my other child to attend, what should I do?

​

You need to fill out an application during open enrollment for the other child.  Please remember to list the currently enrolled student under the “sibling attending” section of the application to receive sibling preference in the lottery. 

​

Open Enrollment has ended, am I still able to apply?

​

We continuously accept applications through the last day of the school year that you are applying for.  If there is a seat available in the grade level that you are applying for, an offer will be made through email.  If there are no openings in the grade level you are applying for, your child’s application will be placed on the waitlist in the date order the application was received.

​

I am currently on the waitlist. Does the waitlist expire once the new lottery is run or does it carryover?

​

Applications are year specific.  Applications submitted for the current school year will not be valid, roll over, or be processed in the next school year.  If your child is currently on the waitlist, please submit a new application during the next school year’s Open Enrollment period.

​

If my child is on the waitlist, do I need to contact you to find out where he/she stands on the list?

​

Parents can login at any time to find where their child is on the waitlist.

​

My child is on the waitlist, but has moved down a spot. How is this possible?

​

Undoubtedly this is frustrating. We follow the preferences permitted by the state (sibling, military, employee, etc.). For example, when one sibling is accepted and has another sibling waitlisted in another grade, that waitlisted sibling gets an enrollment preference, meaning they move to the top of the waitlist. This means that occasionally parents will see their children move down the list instead of up.

​

What happens if my child’s name is chosen during the lottery?

​

You will be contacted by email if your child is offered a seat or placed on the waitlist.  Once your student receives an offer, you will need to login and accept the offer within 5 business days or the offer will be automatically declined.  After accepting the offer, you will have 10 business days to complete the online registration and provide all the required documents.  Please see the Enrolling with our Online Registration section above for the specific documents required.

​

Is there a tuition fee to attend? 

​

No, we are a public school and there is no cost to attend.

​

Does my child need to wear a uniform? 

​

We have a dress code at school. Students must follow the dress code every day. 

​

Do your schools provide transportation? Yes.
