Timing of Offers:
Offers in late January through mid-March will typically be made for incoming Kindergarten classes and any grade levels where a campus is planning to add a new section within existing grade levels. The majority of offers for grades 1 and above are made after the close of Reenrollment, when enrolled families make determinations about their plans for the following school year. Reenrollment concludes in late March. -
Once one child has enrolled, waitlisted siblings will receive priority and move up the waitlist.
