LOTTERY PROCEDURES
All TK-5th new students:
Parents/guardians may complete an electronic lottery application during the open enrollment window.
Incoming Transitional Kindergarten students:
If on 1/16/2026 fewer than 40 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 1/16/2026 more than 40 lottery applications are received, an electronic enrollment lottery will be held on 1/20/2026 at 4:00 PM via PowerSchool Enrollment Application. This process will randomly select 40 students for enrollment. Students not selected for the first 40 seats will be placed on a waiting list and contacted for enrollment if and when any seats become available.
Incoming Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students:
If, on 1/16/2026, the combined number of previously enrolled students and new lottery entrants is less than 75, parents/guardians of new students will be notified of their child’s acceptance and invited to complete an enrollment-registration form.
If on 1/16/2026 the combined number of previously enrolled students and letters of intent exceeds 75 at each grade level, an electronic enrollment lottery for incoming students will be held on 1/20/2026 at 4:00 PM via the 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 exempt from the lottery. Vista Condor Global Academy offers the following enrollment priority in the lottery:
Vista Condor Global Academy Admissions preference shall first be extended to pupils currently attending the charter school and pupils who reside in the Santa Ana Unified 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, VCGA proposes to extend an additional admissions 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.

After we finish the lottery process, for the remaining available seats(if any) we will enroll new students until we fill our capacity. Please follow the school website for our enrollment registration announcement.
