Enrollment Information For 2007-08
Vista Verde School is a K-8 alternative school in the Irvine Unified School District. This means Vista Verde is a "school of choice" that is open to all students in the Irvine school district. Each year, Vista Verde accepts Interest Cards from families who wish to enroll their children at Vista Verde for the following school year. Beginning January 8, 2007, Vista Verde will accept Interest Cards from families wishing to enroll for the 2007-08 school year. Interest Cards will be available in the school office. Currently, Vista Verde projects openings for all grade levels — though the exact number of openings won't be known until next year. Note that the deadline to submit a completed Interest Card to the Vista Verde school office is Friday, February 29, 2007 at Noon.
Siblings of Current Vista Verde Students
Siblings of current Vista Verde students who are on Vista Verde's waiting list for next school year will have priority to enroll for an available opening within a specific grade level. However, an Interest Card must be turned in to maintain a sibling's current position on the waiting list for next school year. An Interest Card must also be turned in for any siblings entering Kindergarten next school year. (Siblings of current Vista Verde students who will be entering Kindergarten next school year will receive priority enrollment.)
Lottery Drawing on February 29, 2008
On February 29, 2008 Vista Verde will hold its lottery drawing for those students who submitted an Interest Card and are not already on the waiting list. The lottery will determine each student's position on the waiting list. Students that are already on the waiting list — and have submitted another Interest Card — will simply maintain their current position on the list. After the lottery, Vista Verde will then begin the process of matching available openings in each grade level to the students on the updated waiting list. (NOTE: Vista Verde will continue to accept Interest Cards through August 2007. Depending on the grade level, Vista Verde may be able to accomodate students who submitted a late Interest Card if there is an opening in a specific grade level, even after school begins in July 2007.)
