We have 5 steps in our application process. Please read the below steps carefully:
Pre-Enrollment Form: Fill out the Pre-Enrollment Form to qualify for our lottery. The form is released on January 1st, 2021 and the deadline to complete the form is January 31st. Please Note: If you fill out this Pre-Enrollment Form after Jan. 31, your student's name will be placed on a waitlist in the order of which your application was received (based on the day and time).
Lottery: The lottery for our 2020-2021 school year will take place on Wednesday, February 10th at 10:00am. If you filled out the Pre-Enrollment Form, your student's name will be added to the lottery. This year, our lottery will happen virtually (online), and you're welcome to watch online. If you submitted your application after Jan. 31, your name will only be called after the lottery is complete. At that point, if any seats remain unfilled, OR if selected parents choose to withdraw their student's name from attendance, we will reach out to parents on the waitlist in the order of when they submitted their Pre-Enrollment Form.
Acceptance: After the lottery is complete, you will have 3 business days to accept your student's seat for the 2020-2021 year. It's crucial that you send in your acceptance before the deadline given- if we do not hear back from you in that time frame, we will need to honor our lottery process and extend an offer to the next parent on our waitlist. Once you accept the offer, you will have one week from that date to hand in paperwork. Again, if the one week deadline is not met, the offer will expire.
Checklist of Documents: Once you have accepted your seat at Amana (woohoo!), the below checklist of documents will need to be turned in online via your Integrity 6 account.
