       2012-2013 Student Application Process

We started accepting student applications for the 2012-13 school
year on February 1st.  In 2012-13, we will be serving PK (3 year
olds) through 7th grade at three sites:

1. Beckley Campus: Grades K-6
2. Kiest Campus: Grades K-7
3. Early Childhood Campus: Grades PK3 and PK4

Those applying for K-6 will be asked whether they would like their
child to attend the Beckley or Kiest Campus.  We will attempt to
honor this preference.  Please note that the Kiest Campus will be
located at the corner of Kiest and Rio Grande in temporary
buildings (portables) for 2012-13 while construction on the
permanent building proceeds on a different part of the site.

The application period will run until May 15th and if there are
more applications than spots in a grade, we will hold a lottery to
determine which students are admitted.  Siblings of current and
admitted students are given preference in the lottery and in wait
lists.  Otherwise, students are placed on wait lists in the order
their applications were received.
