Important Enrollment Information | Mountain Charter School

Please refer to the “Frequently asked questions about our lottery process” and “the IEP information” sections on our website for more information about our enrollment process

Once the lottery happens, you will receive an email indicating your child’s position on the waitlist. They will be seated in numerical order in which they were drawn.

If your child gets a seat at Mountain School, you will be sent an email from Powerschool (Mountain School’s student information system) asking if you’d like to accept or decline the seat. You will have 7 days to respond to this email before the seat will be released to another family. If you accept the seat, our registrar will send you the registration link, and you will need to fill out the online forms. Below is a list of the items you will also be asked to provide when registering your child(ren).

Proof of your child’s identity and age (for example: birth certificate, passport etc).

A current copy of your child’s immunization record or waiver

The requested annual activity fee of $150- this fee helps cover our special programs such as Spanish, PE, Music, Art, STEAM, and field trips. The activity fee qualifies as an Arizona school tax credit, so you will get the entire $150 back on your 2023 state tax return.

Proof of Residency–there are many options to do this, please refer to the Arizona Residency document included in the enrollment packet for acceptable documentation.

All families interested in Kindergarten have the choice of half or full day. Half day Kindergarten is funded by the state of Arizona and there is no charge. Full day Kindergarten is not currently funded by the state of Arizona and is $350 per month. This equates to $5 per hour for 3.5 hours a day of enrichment learning, specials and lunch and recess for your student. For those that itemize their taxes, you will receive a receipt for the extended part of the day, which can be applied toward child care expenses.

Grades 1- 5are funded by the state of Arizona. The only fee parents will have for those students is the requested annual activity fee of $150 per student.
