Dear Applicant for the proposed
Montessori Kinderhaus:
Thank you for your interest in the River Valley
Charter School. At this time we are planning to conduct a
conditional lottery for enrollment for the proposed Montessori
Kinderhaus for 5year old children. Because of time constraints
between the approval date and the date for reporting the names
of the students who will potentially attend this new class,
we are accepting applications now for the conditional lottery
to be held on Wednesday, March 5, 2003 at 1 p. m.
The following procedures are required
for admission:
1. File Application and proof of residency (utility
bill) by March 4, 2003 at 8 p. m.
2. Attend a school information meeting on
March 4, 2003 at either 9 a. m. or 6:30 p. m.
3. Observe a classroom including a tour of
the school.
4. Sign a Parent Agreement.
There are two ways that enrollment occurs:
1. Once
a year there is a lottery to select applications for a ranked
order for entrance into the school. When there are more applicants
than openings in a given age group, the additional names are
maintained on Wait Lists. The categories of Wait Lists are:
- Sibling Wait List: applicants
of current students
- General Wait List: applicants from
chartered region
- Non-Resident List: residents
of Massachusetts out of chartered region
- Out-of-State List: applicants
moving to chartered region by July 1
2. In the event that
there are openings in an age group and no wait list for those
positions, then the administration may offer enrollment to
applicants who have filed for admission but not participated
in a lottery. In this case, the date of receipt of the application
becomes the ranked order with the earliest filings being given
preference. At the next lottery time, any unenrolled applicants
are lottered and wait listed for future openings.
