This year's lottery will be held online via Zoom.
If the number of applications exceeds the available spaces, a public lottery determines admission and/or waitlist status. The lottery will take place virtually and all applicants are able to watch the lottery live on our website, though it’s not required for admission. Lottery numbers will be posted to our website the following day.
Notification of Admission Status
Mrs. Hill will follow up with admitted families in March via email.

Students on the waitlist are notified by phone if a space becomes available starting in early Spring.
