Enrollment As a tuition-free public charter school, PVCICS is open to all students residing in Massachusetts. We are now accepting non-binding enrollment applications for students entering kindergarten and 1st grades in the Fall of 2008. Students entering Kindergarten must be 5 years old by September 1, 2008. Interested parents or guardians are required to attend an information session prior to submitting an application. Applications will be available at the information sessions. Information Session Schedule
Applications submitted to PVCICS by March 10th, 2008 will participate in the first pre-enrollment lottery, held on March 12th, 2008 at the school. The lottery establishes the order in which students will be accepted into the school. Siblings of enrolled students will be given priority over other students in the lottery ranking. Additionally, students from within PVCICS's region of service, as defined in our charter, will be given priority over students outside the region. Applications submitted after March 12th, 2008 will participate in subsequent lotteries. Lotteries held after March 12th, 2008 will not change the status of students already offered admission to PVCICS, but may change the ranking of students on the waiting list. A second pre-enrollment lottery will be held Saturday June 7, 2008 at 3:00PM at 7 Pomeroy Lane, Unit 8, Amherst, MA. A third pre-enrollment lottery will be held Saturday July 5, 2008 at 3:00PM at 7 Pomeroy Lane, Unit 8, Amherst, MA.
