Application Process

All families who wish to attend our campus-based schools (Hickman Elementary and Middle Schools) are required to complete an interest application form for each student they wish to enroll. Interest applications will be accepted throughout the year for enrollment in the following school year.  The application deadline for campus schools shall be the last day of March.

The HCCD charter requires our campus-based programs to conduct a lottery whenever enrollment reaches the capacity for that grade level. The procedure also takes into account the fact that room must be left in each of the classes to accommodate those students moving into the district during the school year. This lottery will take place at the April board meeting of the Hickman Community Charter District. The purpose of the lottery will be to rank in order all students within categories mentioned in Enrollment Priority Criteria tab above.

The following lists the students in the order of enrollment priority:

• Students whose parents/guardians are employees of the district will be admitted until enrollment capacity is reached.
• Students whose siblings are enrolled in HES or HMS will be admitted until enrollment capacity is reached.
• Students who are enrolled in the district who wish to transfer within the district will be admitted until enrollment capacity is reached.
• Students who are grandchildren of employees of the district will be admitted until enrollment capacity is reached.
• Students who remain on the waiting list will then be entered into the lottery until enrollment capacity is reached.
• During the school year if the total enrollment in each grade level drops below capacity, additional students may be admitted until enrollment capacity is reached.

All families who wish to attend our home-based, independent study program (Hickman Charter School) are required to complete an interest application form for each student they wish to enroll. Interest applications will be accepted throughout the year and admission will be accepted when school enrollment drops below the minimum level set by the Superintendent or designee.  The following is the process required for admission.

All those who have filled out an interest application are invited to participate in an information sessions.  These sessions are offered in the spring and summer prior to the start of a new school year, or when space becomes available.  

If, after attending an information session, the family wishes to enroll, staff will review the interest applications to determine if independent study is an appropriate placement for the student.
