Lottery Registration

2011-2012 Lottery/Wait List Information and Lottery Registration Information for 2012-2013

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, you are invited to attend an Open House held on both January 26, 2012 and February 23, 2012.  We will meet in the Kennicott Building at 7:00 pm for a presentation, and school tour.  Lottery Registration forms for 2012-2013 school will be available in January 1, 2012.

Lottery Registration forms will be accepted from January 1, 2012 – March 1, 2012 for the 2012-2013 School Year. Forms submitted after March 2 will be added to the end of the wait list. If you are interested in registering your child(ren) for the Lottery/Wait List, please fill out a Lottery Registration Form for the 2012-2013 school year (also available in Spanish). 

If you are interested in registering your child(ren) for the Lottery/Wait List, please fill out a Lottery Registration Form for the 2011-2012 school year (also available in Spanish). The School Lottery is held once a year on the first of March.  Registration forms are also accepted after the Lottery drawing.  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.
