Admissions Process

Admissions testing for the 2012-2013 school year was completed in early November. The response target for notification of admission to grade 9 is the end of January and the response target for notification of admission for grades 5-8 is the end of February.  The school district works as quickly as possible to review admissions critieria, but also works diligiently to make sure all student review folders are complete before notifications take place.
