give all interested parents equal opportunity for their child to
attend Paramount Charter Academy. During open enrollment, all
applications get equal consideration regardless of date submitted.
An application received at the end of open enrollment receives
equal treatment to one received on the first day of open
enrollment. Open enrollment for the next school year always begins
on the first day of school and ends on the last business day in
February at 5:00 p.m. Following the close of open enrollment,
if the number of applications exceeds the number of open seats, a
random selection lottery determines acceptance. If the number
of applications does not exceed the number of open seats, all
applicants are accepted for their respective grade.LotteryLotteries
are open to the public, and parents are encouraged to attend. The
date, time, and place of the lottery is communicated in writing to
all applicants. Lotteries will be held for any grade in which the
number of applications exceeds the number of openings. Names are
randomly selected, and applicants are accepted based on
the order in which they are selected. The lottery continues until
all names are drawn. Applicants who are not accepted will be placed
on a waiting list in the order their names were
selected. Sibling PreferenceIn order to accommodate parents
who have more than one child eligible for enrollment, siblings
of students accepted during the lottery or currently enrolled
students are given preference over students who don`t have accepted
or enrolled siblings. Siblings will be offered the first
available seat in their respective grade or placed on a waiting
list with sibling preference.Sibling preference is defined as
children who have at least one common parent/legal guardian AND are
living in the same household at least 50% of the time.Waiting
ListsStudents on waiting lists continue to receive school
information. It is not unusual for a small percentage
of accepted students to select other options prior to the
start of school. Openings created by opt-outs are filled by those
on waiting lists. Do not become discouraged if your child is put on
a waiting list. Openings can and do become available.
