Lottery Registration

2013-2014 Lottery/Wait List Information and Lottery Registration Information for 2013-2014

All students accepted for enrollment at Prairie Crossing Charter School must go through the lottery registration process. The lottery is a nonexclusive, nondiscriminatory process where all students who live in Districts 50 and 79 are welcome to apply. Siblings of current students are given priority where space allows. Legal residency must be established as of the day of the lottery for an applicant to be included in the in-district lottery process.  Out-of-district students will only be admitted after all in-district student applications have been placed during the lottery process.

To learn more about Prairie Crossing Charter School and the lottery, PCCS invites all interested families to attend an Open House held in January and February each year.  In 2013, our Open Houses were held on January 24th and February 21st.  We met in the Kennicott Building at 7:00 pm for a presentation, and school tour.  Lottery Registration forms for 2012-2013 school were available on the website. Please see below link for Wait List Registration forms.

Lottery Registration forms that were received from January 1, 2013 – March 1, 2013 for the 2013-2014 School Year were placed in the lottery. Forms submitted after March 4th will be added to the end of the wait list. If you are interested in registering your child(ren) for the Wait List, please fill out a Wait list Registration Form for the 2013-2014 school year (also available in Spanish). 

The School Lottery is held once a year, this year it was on the fourth of March, 2013.  Registration forms are also accepted after the Lottery drawing, please click here for the After Lottery Registration Form.  Students will be placed on the wait list based on the following priority: siblings of returning/current students, in-district applicants and then out-of-district applicants. The student wait list is maintained and updated as changes are made for the current school year and the next school year after the March drawing.  Please be sure to check the correct list to determine your students placement on the wait list.

Please familiarize yourself with Policies associated with the lottery process.
