Enrollment Committee Update

We had an extra large and enthusiastic visitor tour on Tuesday, due the our upcoming application deadline and lottery for new students for the ’06-’07 school year. The lottery will be held this Friday, March 31st. Acceptance and wait list letters will go out early next week. We will probably have an additional open enrollment period after March 31st to build up our waiting lists. More information will follow.
