Application and Enrollment Process

General Information

All students who reside in the state of Oregon are eligible for admission to Arthur Academy Public Charter School. Oregon Charter School law allows students to apply to the school from outside the school district without an inter-district transfer. Your student must be 5 years old on or before September 1 to apply for kindergarten.

Applications

Applications are accepted starting January 8th of each year for the following school year and are accepted through the entire school year.

As per our Charter School Agreement, priority will be given to students as follows:

• Current students

• Siblings of current students

• Students residing in that school district

• Out of district students

Lottery Process

In the event that Arthur Academy receives more applications than there are openings in a specific grade, a random lottery will be held. 

• The lottery will be held for Kindergarten - 5th grade students at the beginning of April. This is for all applications submitted between January - March 31st.

  • • • • Approximately fourteen days after this lottery is conducted, accepted applicants will be notified.

        • The remaining students will be placed on a wait list in the event of future openings. These waitlisted applicants will NOT be notified unless their student moves off the waitlist onto the accepted list.

        • Applicants will be notified when and if a spot is available. 

All applications received after May 31st will be added to the waitlist in the order they are received. 

Enrollment

Following notification, all students accepted will receive an enrollment packet. It is the parent’s/guardian's responsibility to return the complete application packet by the appropriate deadline to enroll the student. Students are not officially enrolled until all paperwork is complete and submitted to the school office.
