Desert Star Community School
      Enrollment Procedures

2010-2011 school year:

If you are interested in enrolling your child at Desert Star here is the procedure:

1) Printable Enrollment Application for school year 2010-2011.

Or you may also call the school to schedule a visit and bring the application with you.

2) If there is space in your child’s class you will then receive an Enrollment Packet.

3) Packets must be returned in a timely manner in order to guarantee a place for your child. Once you return the completed packet, your child will be officially enrolled. If there is not space in the class, you will be notified and your child’s name will be placed on a waiting list. Even if a grade is currently full we strongly encourage you to submit an Application and get on the waiting list. When a place becomes available families will be called based on the date that applications were submitted. Families on the waiting list must respond within two days upon receipt of an admissions offer to secure a place for their child. Call 282-0171 for information or to schedule a visit.

Open Enrollment Procedure

Currently enrolled students will be automatically re-enrolled unless notice is given to the Administration.

Desert Star Community School will follow the open enrollment policy required by Arizona (A.R.S. 15-184). The school will enroll all eligible new pupils during the open enrollment period beginning March 26, 2010, who submit a timely Application for Enrollment 10-11, unless the number of applications exceeds the capacity of a program, class, grade level or building. The school will give enrollment preference to pupils returning to the school after a subsequent year and to siblings of pupils already enrolled in the school. The school will not limit admission based on ethnicity, national origin, gender, income level, disabling condition, proficiency in the English language or athletic ability.
