We invite you to submit a student enrollment lottery application to enroll your child in the 2025-2026 school year. After we receive all lottery forms, on 1/21/2025 the Student Information System (PowerSchool) will conduct the lottery electronically for all our schools simultaneously.

LOTTERY PROCEDURES

 

All TK-6th new students:

Parents/guardians may complete an electronic lottery application during the open enrollment window.

 

Incoming Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten grade students:

If on 1/17/2025 fewer than 100 lottery applications are received, parents/guardians will be notified of their child’s acceptance and invited to complete the online enrollment registration form.

If on 1/17/2025, more than 100 lottery applications are received, an electronic enrollment lottery will be held on 1/21/2025, at 3:00 PM by PowerSchool Enrollment Application. This process will randomly select 100 students to be enrolled. Students not selected for the first 100 seats will be placed on a waiting list and contacted for enrollment if and when any seats become available.

 

Incoming 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades students:

If on 1/17/2025, the combined number of previously enrolled students and new lottery forms is less than 100, parents/guardians of new students will be notified of their child’s acceptance and invited to fill out an enrollment-registration form.

If on 1/17/2025, the combined number of previously enrolled students and letters of intent are more than 100 at each grade level, an electronic enrollment lottery for incoming students will be held on 1/21/2025 at 3:00 PM by PowerSchool Enrollment Application. This process will randomly select students to be enrolled to fill the remaining open seats after previously enrolled students are confirmed.

 

LOTTERY PROVISIONS

Students who are currently enrolled are exempted from the lottery.  Palm Lane Global Academy offers the following enrollment priority in the lottery:  

 

Admissions preference shall first be extended to pupils currently attending the charter

school and pupils who reside in the Anaheim Elementary School District except as

provided for in Education Code section 47614.5.

 

Other preferences may be permitted by the chartering authority on an individual school

basis and only if consistent with the law. As such, PLGA proposes to extend an

additional admission preference to siblings of already enrolled students, which

preference shall only be extended after the first two preferences noted above are

extended

*     *     *

Students not selected for the remaining seats will be placed on a waiting list and contacted for enrollment if and when any seats become available.

 

Please contact Dr. Collin Felch, Deputy Superintendent, to address any questions at (650) 888-2030 or cfelch@vistacharterps.org or contact the school office at (657) 213-8980.
