Enrollment Highlights:

 

Thank you for choosing ICan Charter Academy for your student needs. Open enrollment is on a “first come, first served” basis. If student enrollment exceeds the capacity, class, or grade level, then a lottery will be required. Preference may be given to students “currently” attending the charter school through an appropriate admission process and remaining in attendance through subsequent grades and children of employees or Board Members. In addition, preference may be given to students residing within a "reasonable distance" of the school. The student positions remaining after the application of any preferences will be considered the number of open positions available in the lottery.

Students may withdraw at any time and enroll in another public school as determined by the local School Board’s policy. All students will be required to adhere to the local School District and State of Florida policy regarding student health examinations and inoculations. 

As a school of choice, ICan requires that parents be actively involved in the school and in their child's education. A Home/School Compact must be completed by the parent or guardian for each student in attendance. This compact outlines some of the school, parent and student expectations, which is consistent with the school's mission. ICan Charter Academy may deny re-enrollment to a student whose parent has failed to fulfill their obligations as outlined in the Home/School Compact or the Student Handbook

Enrollment Policy:

If a parent or guardian (collectively referred to as “Parent”) wants to enroll his/her student, the parent must submit a completed online or hard copy registration packet during our enrollment period for each student wishing enrollment. A complete and timely online registration packet is required to ensure that the student will be included in the lottery. A lottery will only be required if the number of students wanting to enroll exceeds the number of seats available at the school.

​

The academy will enroll any eligible student who meets residency requirements and who submits a timely application. The school will comply will all aspects of Florida Statute 1002.33(10) regarding enrollment and the lottery process. Pursuant to Florida Statute 1002.33(10(e)(4) If more applications are received than there are available places for students in any one or more grade levels, then a lottery will take place on a date designated by the Board.

 

Applications received after the deadline will be placed on the waiting list in the order received, after the students put on the waiting list during the lottery. The lottery will take place in the evening and will be open to the public. Notices will be given to all applicants and otherwise posted in order to ensure the community knows when and where the lottery will occur.

​
Timeline:

Students may apply at any time for enrollment. All applications will be reviewed and processed only during the enrollment period. The enrollment period will end each March 30th, at 4:00p.m. (EST). If March 30th, is a weekend or holiday, then the next school’s business day will be the subsequent enrollment deadline date at 4:00p.m. (EST).  Open enrollment is on a “first come, first served” basis. If student enrollment exceeds the capacity of the programs, class, grade level, or building, applicants shall be placed in a lottery. If a student is not enrolled prior to the beginning of the upcoming school year, then the student will be placed in the lottery pool for the following school year. If an opening for enrollment becomes available during the school year, only those students having a “completed” application on file will be selected from the waiting list.
 

Waiting List Procedures:

Students with a completed application and on the waiting list will be selected, in the order in which they appear in the lottery, and notified of the opening via email and a phone call. Parents/Caregivers will have five (5) business days to accept the open position and to complete the enrollment process. Failure to respond in this five (5) business days and time frame will forfeit the available seat in the academy. If a seat is forfeited, it will be offered to the next student on the waiting list and so on and so forth. If a slot is declined when offered, then the student’s name will be removed from the list and will be required to begin the enrollment process from its beginning with a newly submitted application for admission. If a waiting list carries forward from a previous enrollment period, then those students will be placed in the new lottery and added to the new waiting list.
