Landmark Academy Is the Best Choice Because…
Landmark Academy provides a safe and nurturing learning environment that promotes individual giftedness and talents in all of our students. Every teacher receives training to meet individual student learning styles, which facilitates an environment where all students can succeed. Landmark Academy believes in setting high standards for our students and has developed learning targets/objectives based on the current State adopted standards. Teachers also use the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to incorporate character education into the classroom. We believe this instruction promotes productive citizens and life-long learners.
Understanding the Enrollment Process
Open Enrollment
Families can apply anytime throughout the school year, but the formal Open Enrollment Process runs during a set period of time in March. This period is intended to fill seats that are available after returning students, siblings, and students of Landmark staff have been placed. Applications are received through Online Enrollment and are time stamped when submitted. Applications received after the open enrollment period are time stamped and placed in order of receipt online — these students will be placed in available seats or on the waiting list (first come, first served) after the lottery has taken place. The placement lottery will be held on a set date TBD in April.
Enrollment Lottery
If there are more open enrollment applicants than there are seats available in a grade, the lottery is used to determine placement. Information (name, grade, siblings, and sibling grades) is recorded on cards from applications received during the open period and placed in a drawing by grade. Beginning with the highest grade, names are drawn in succession until all open seats in the class are assigned; names drawn afterward are placed in succession on the waiting list for that grade. When a student is selected for a seat, their sibling(s) are automatically placed in the first available seat for their grade — if no seat is available, the sibling is placed at the top of the waiting list. This continues for each grade until all applicants have either been assigned a seat or placed on a waiting list. Waiting lists for the upcoming school year are maintained and updated through January.
Requirements
- Enrollment shall be open to all pupils who reside in this state who meet the admission policy.
- The Academy shall allow any pupil who was enrolled in the Academy in the immediately preceding school year to enroll in the Academy unless the appropriate grades are not offered.
- No student may be denied participation in the application process due to a lack of student records.
- If the Academy receives more applications for enrollment than seats available, placement is determined through the enrollment lottery described above.
Re-enrolling Students
The Academy shall notify parents or guardians of all enrolled students of the deadline for notifying the Academy that they wish to re-enroll their child; re-enrolling currently enrolled students is not needed. If the Academy Board has a sibling preference policy, the re-enrollment notice must also request that the parent or guardian indicate whether a sibling seeks to enroll for the upcoming academic year. An applicant on the waiting list at the time a new application period begins must reapply as a new student. After collecting parent or guardian responses, the Academy must determine: (1) the number of students who have re-enrolled per grade or grouping level, (2) the number of siblings seeking admission for the upcoming academic year per grade, (3) if space is unavailable, a waiting list for siblings of re-enrolled students, and (4) the number of spaces remaining per grade after enrollment of current students and siblings.
