Questions
Still wondering about something? Email info@rootedschoolcle.org.
Does this hold a spot for my child?
No. It doesn't reserve a seat. It just lets us keep you updated and invite you to the formal application when it opens.
Will this help my child's chances?
No. It doesn't give any advantage in admissions or the lottery. All formal applications will be treated the same way, whether or not a family completed a pre-application.
When do formal applications open?
We don't have a date yet. We'll contact you as soon as they do.
Do you need my child's grades or IEP?
No. The pre-application only asks for contact information, home address, and your student’s name and current grade, plus a few optional questions that help us plan.
What if I don't fill this out?
You can still apply when formal applications open. The pre-application just helps us keep you informed.
