Lottery & Important Dates
New enrollment will be accepted until classrooms reach capacity. When classrooms reach capacity, applicants will be added to a waiting list. Siblings of enrolled students will be given first preference for enrollment. There may be other preference as provided by law. As spaces become available, enrollment may occur based on the position in the waiting list. For classes where applications exceed openings, a random drawing is held and new enrollment and waiting lists are established. Families accepted for enrollment complete the appropriate registration paperwork within a certain timeframe, and then students are placed in classes.
We plan our budget in the Spring with the information from enrollment. Since we are counting on your commitment for budget planning, please notify us as soon as possible if you have a change in plans. Since other families are waiting to enroll, we are not able to hold places for undecided families.

Bear River Charter accepts applications year round. When classrooms reach capacity, applicants will be added to a waiting list.
