Painted Rock Academy Enrollment K-8 Application

You may submit a Pre-Enrollment Application to add your child’s name to the waiting list, and we will contact you when a classroom seat is available. Completing the online form does not obligate your child to attend Painted Rock Academy, but it does reserve your spot in line so that you can make a decision when a spot comes open. Please complete a separate application for each child in the family, including siblings of current students.

For next year, 2023-2024, students in grades K-8 may apply during the November 7-20 Open Enrollment period. Those names will be placed in random order by a lottery in early December.  Applications received after November 20th are added to the waiting list in the order they are received, behind the Open Enrollment applications.

Kindergarten Information

Students must be five years old on or before August 31st of the school year for which they are applying. Future kindergarten students are scheduled for a  kindergarten screening. This assessment identifies areas that you can work on with your child during the spring and summer so he or she is assured a great start in our kindergarten curriculum. CLICK HERE for kindergarten screening information. Offers of enrollment are based solely on waiting list position, not on screening results. We do not make exceptions or perform testing to admit students to kindergarten who will not be five years old on August 31st.

We encourage you to complete a Pre-Enrollment Application form to join the waiting list. Preschool waiting list applications may be submitted beginning the first Monday in November for the following school year.

Students must be four years old on or before August 31st of the school year in order to be placed on the Waiting List, and they must be fully potty trained. Placement in preschool is offered based upon the Waiting List. There is not a lottery for preschool placement.

In late Decmber, we will begin notifying families that placement is available, and we will continue to contact families about registration until all places have been reserved. The $40 registration fee and first month’s tuition are required to reserve your child’s place; these payments are not refundable.

We would love to have every one of our preschoolers attend Painted Rock Academy’s kindergarten, but membership in our preschool program does not give priority placement status for following year’s Kindergarten class. We do, however, make sure our preschool families know when the public kindergarten Open Enrollment windows are, for the greatest likelihood of being offered enrollment.[/toggle]
