The Carbon Valley Academy Enrollment Process
Carbon Valley Academy open enrollment for the 2008/2009 school year begins Thursday, November 1st.
Lottery Process
Students enrolled will have priority for the next year's enrollment. Students with completed family volunteer hours unless specifically waived by the CVA Board, may re-enroll each year in the Spring by a date set by the Board.
Preference is for siblings of children already enrolled, with the exception of any child who previously declined enrollment, or has withdrawn from the waiting list.
A "sibling" is defined as any child(ren) living in the same household or with common parent(s) in separate households. Any sibling born while a student is enrolled may retain that status even if the original student graduates from CVA before he/she reaches kindergarten. Any sibling offered a position in the first semester must enroll that child or forfeit their sibling position. At that time siblings become subject to general lottery rules. If offered a position in the third quarter, the sibling may decline to enroll and still retain their sibling priority for the following school year.
No new placements will be accepted in the 4th quarter.
The lottery will be governed by the following rules:
- Lottery will take place twice per year (February 15 and June 15) in accordance with Colorado Department of Education policies. CVA will hold subsequent lottery's after June 15 as needed.
- Prior to enrolling in the lottery, each parent must attend an orientation meeting, complete a registration form and agree to abide by CVA's policies. Each child may only enter the lottery for one grade level each year.
- All students will be placed on an 'order drawn' list that will become the wait list for openings through the year.
- Each lottery wait list will remain active for only one school year (Annualized each February). All students must re-enter the lottery each spring to be placed on the current wait list for the following school year.
- CVA will enter K students into the lottery no sooner than the February before their Kindergarten year.
- CVA will abide by Colorado Statutes regarding open enrollment.
