ADMISSIONS

Admission is not limited based upon ethnicity, nationality, origin, gender, income level, disabling condition, proficiency in the English language or athletic ability. There are no tuition or fees charged for attending Cornerstone Charter School. Cornerstone will admit all eligible pupils who submit timely applications.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ENROLLMENT

In order to enroll at Cornerstone Charter School parents and prospective students must schedule an appointment with the enrollment secretary. If the student is under 18 years old, a parent or guardian must accompany the student to the appointment.

Along with a completed enrollment packet, the following documents are required:

• Birth Certificate
• Immunization Records
• Official Withdrawal Form (original)
• Official Transcripts from previous schools attended
• Testing Records
• Social Security Card, if applicable
• Individual Educational Plan (IEP) and 3-Year Evaluation, if applicable
• Any other documentation as specified at time of enrollment

WAITING LIST

Cornerstone Charter School  will make every attempt to accommodate students seeking admission. However, each year the Arizona Department of Education limits the number of students who can be enrolled. When the enrollment cap is met, a waiting list is established. When a space becomes available, the school will use a lottery system to determine the next student to be enrolled.

ORIENTATION

All students must successfully complete school orientation. Orientation refers to the first 5 consecutive days that the student is scheduled to attend. A student who is absent, tardy, disruptive, does not complete what the instructor (s)  feel is an adequate amount of work or does not comply with other school policies, may be dropped and placed on the waiting list.

ATTENDANCE POLICIES

Regular attendance at school has been directly linked to academic success and created positive attitudes toward responsibility that will carry over into adult life. State law also requires regular attendance by students of school age (6-16). In the event of absence, parents/guardians are expected to notify the school in writing before the day of the absence, or by telephone the day of the absence. For absences greater than one day in length, the school should be notified for each day of the absence.
