Registration Information for The Pinnacle Charter School:
The Registration Packet for the 2010-2011 school year is now available.
New Students and Parents:
Thank you for considering the Pinnacle as a school of choice for your student. We are a public school and therefore, we are tuition free*. We welcome this opportunity to offer a quality education in a safe and structured learning environment. Enrollment is open for all school districts.
*Small tuition for Full Day Kindergarten
Prior to admission to the school, students are required to take the following tests:
Kindergarten: Kindergarten Readiness
1st through 5th Grade: Reading, Writing, and Math
6th through 12th Grade: Academic Placement for Math
Test results may effect your student’s placement, but not your child’s acceptance by The Pinnacle. Acceptance is only affected by reaching the class enrollment cutoff: twenty-three students per class in Kindergarten; twenty-five per class in Grades 1-2; and twenty-eight per class in Grades 3-12.
Returning students, students of employees and siblings of currently enrolled students will be given priority in regard to enrollment status.
Returning Students and Parents:
Step One:
All students must re-register annually. If students do not re-register by this date, their enrollment may not be guaranteed for the next year.
The Pinnacle will mail Intent to Return forms to 6th – 11th grades in on March 5th.
Forms will be sent home with Kindergarten – 5th graders on March 5th.
Forms will be due by March 12th.
Step Two:
The second step will take place in late March when our Business Office will send you an invoice for fees for 2010-11. Fee payments will be due May 30. 2010-2011_Student_Fees.
