Please be aware that student(s) will not be placed in the lottery until at least one parent/guardian has completed an in person campus tour and a current (State Compliant) student shot record or notarized State Exemption Form has been received for each student.

Guardians will have 48 hours to reply before moving to the end of the waitlist.

Please read below for a detailed explanation.

Detailed Lottery/Waitlist Process

Exclusion from Admission

 

As authorized by the Treetops School charter and Texas Education Code § 12.111(a)(5)(A), students with a documented history of a criminal offense, a juvenile court adjudication, or other discipline problems under Texas Education Code Chapter 37, Subchapter A may be excluded from admission and enrollment in Treetops School.

 

Submission of Applications and Admissions Lottery

 

An in person campus tour at Treetops School International  must be completed by at least one parent/guardian before child will be placed in the lottery. During the tour, academic standards, dress code, attendance policies, and general school operations questions can be asked.

 

An enrollment packet must then be completed and the application process is not finalized until all forms and required data are obtained. Treetops School International will review the student’s discipline history from the last enrolled school, and may exclude the student from admission on this basis (as stated above). It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that all forms as listed in the enrollment packet (i.e. report card, discipline record) are submitted to the school in a timely manner to be considered for enrollment. Existing students will be required to complete an application/re-enrollment packet, including residency verification, in the spring semester of each year for the following year.

 

The initial application period for each school year is from January 1 through 4:00 pm on the last school day of March. Siblings of current students and children of employees will be considered first to fill any existing openings, then all other completed applications submitted during this period will receive equal consideration for admission to Treetops School. Note: Treetops School cannot guarantee that multiple siblings will be accepted at the same time. It may be necessary that a sibling has to remain on the waiting list until an opening is available for a specific grade level.

 

After 4:00 pm on the last school day of March, the applications will be sorted by grade and counted. If the number of completed forms for a grade is less than or equal to the number of openings for that grade, students will be offered admission on a first come, first serve basis. However, if the number of completed forms for a grade exceeds the number of openings for that grade, there will be a random  lottery drawing.

 

Each applicant selected during the lottery (up until all open seats are filled) will be offered admission. Once all enrollment spots have been filled by the lottery, the lottery will continue and applicants will be placed on a waitlist in the order in which they are drawn.  If a vacancy arises before the commencement of the next school year, the individual on the waiting list with the lowest number assignment will be offered admission and removed from the waitlist. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure receipt of application forms. Any potential student(s) whose forms are not fully received (completed forms properly submitted to appropriate staff) will forfeit any rights to the random lottery and will be added to the appropriate waitlist.

 

Any applications submitted after the last school day of March by 4:00pm will automatically go on the end of the waitlist, should a waitlist exist for that grade. When there has been a change in residency, it is the responsibility of the parents to notify the campus administration immediately. 

 

Families offered an enrollment seat will be sent a registration packet with instructions for registering.  Families must complete and return the registration packet by the published deadline in order to secure enrollment.  If an enrollment offer is declined or if you do no complete the registration packet by the established deadline, your child's seat will be offered to the next potential student on the waitlist.
