2024-2025 OPEN ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

 

Open Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year is from November 1, 2023 to January 19, 2024.

 

Pre-enrollment forms can be filled out online by clicking the button below,  downloaded and printed from our website, or picked up at the school. You may email completed forms to [email protected], mail them to the school with “Attention to Lyn Adkinson,” or drop them off there.

 

Completed forms must be received by 3 PM, Friday, January 19, 2023, to be included in the lottery. The lottery will be held Thursday, January 25, 2024, at 5 PM in the PCA lunchroom. After the lottery, all spots or waiting lists are filled in the order applications are received.  Enrollment will remain open until the next year's open enrollment.  

 

Important Information regarding enrollment and the lottery:

  • Students already enrolled in PCA (except Pre-K) remain enrolled yearly unless a parent withdraws the student.  These students do not have to complete a pre-enrollment form.
  • Students in the PCA Pre-K must complete pre-enrollment for Kindergarten. The Pre-K is not a part of our charter contract.  Unfortunately, by law, we cannot give them priority into Kindergarten.  Parents enrolling students in Pre-K should also keep this in mind for next year.
  • Siblings of existing PCA students will get priority in the lottery. However, you must still complete a pre-enrollment form for the new student.  Be sure to complete the sibling section to ensure priority.

 

***Please maintain documentation that the school received your pre-enrollment application.  You should receive a "receipt notification" from the Record's Clerk if you hand-deliver.  If you email, please keep the response email stating the application was received.  If you mail your application, you should follow up with a call to ensure it was received if you do not receive a receipt notification by mail.  

 

2024-2025 ENROLLMENT FORM OPTIONS

 

 

Please Note: Our 2024-2025 School year lottery was held on January 25th. 
The remaining seats and waiting lists will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please fill out the online form to apply. 

 

 

The only criteria for enrolling in Pataula Charter Academy is to live in one of the seven counties served; Baker, Calhoun, Clay, Early, Randolph, Terrell, or Miller.  If the school has fewer spaces available than students applying for enrollment, a random lottery will be held to determine which students will be enrolled.
