Applicants will be placed on the waiting lists for grades with more qualified applicants than available space.

STEP 2: STUDENT SCREENING & SHADOW DAYS
Little Lightning Applicants
A screening session or a shadow day is not required for our youngest applicants, but we would love to meet them! After the application is submitted, we will reach out to set up a meet-and-greet.
Kindergarten and 1st Grade Applicants: Screening
Kingergarten and 1st grade applicants will spend 20-30 minutes with our Kindergarten teacher, engaged in activities to get to know your child. This is not something to prepare for – it’s an opportunity for your child to see the classroom, meet the teacher, and for us to get to know your child and family.
