KA Cardinals
Our charter school application window opens on December 1, 2022 for the 2023-2024 school year. 

February 17, 2023 is the cutoff to be placed in the lottery. Applications after that date will be put on the waiting list if no spots are available in the order they are received.
**APPLICATIONS ARE STILL OPEN WITH VERY LIMITED SPOTS LEFT**

All families will be notified by March 3, 2023 if a seat has been reserved for their student, or if their name has been added to a waiting list.

Our charter school application portal will remain open until the end of August. If it is after that date, we encourage you to contact the charter school of your choosing directly to see if there are current openings.

If your student is already enrolled in a charter school another application does not need to be completed to continue attending that charter school. If your student wants to attend a different charter school then an application needs to be completed. Siblings of a student currently attending a charter school also need to complete an application.


Open Enrollment
If a student resides in the Appleton Area School District and completes the charter school application process, they do not need to complete the district’s School of Choice Open Enrollment application.

The Open Enrollment (OE) process is separate from the charter school student application process.

Students living outside the Appleton Area School District must apply for Open Enrollment through the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) in addition to completing the charter school application process.

Transportation
Transportation for charter school students is the responsibility of the parent/guardian.

Please note there are different guidelines for students who live in the Kaleidoscope neighborhood (see Enrollment and Lottery Process). 


Printable Applications
Applications must be completed and submitted within the application window.

Copies of printed applications are also available at each charter school, our District Welcome Center, and the District Leadership Center.
