How the
General Admission Lottery Works:
●
East
Wake Academy Lottery Forms will be available on line
starting on February 1st and at our open
houses.
●
In order to be eligible for the lottery, your form
needs to be submitted before the specified cut off date. Our lottery process is done by grade
level using the applicant’s pone number on a 5 x 7 card
●
The card is then pulled out of our lottery basket by a
student
representative of our National Honor
Society.
●
Results of the lottery are distributed to all applicants in person
if they are
present; otherwise applicants are contacted
by telephone and then by
e-mail.
●
Students not selected from the lottery are placed on a waiting list
according to the numerical order in which
their phone number card was
drawn.
●
Future openings will be filled from the waiting list students in
numerical
order.
●
The lottery will be held in April after the enrollment
period.
●
The lottery will be witnessed by a local
agency school representative, and
parents.
●
If a child does not receive a position for the school year in which
they have
applied, a new Lottery form must be
completed in order to be considered for admission
for the
next school year. |
