ENROLLMENT
For students currently enrolled and returning to TMSA in the fall, Intent to Return forms were sent home in backpacks on Friday, January 11 and must be returned by Friday, January 25 to hold your child’s seat for the 2013-2014 school year. Siblings of returning students who wish to enroll for the 2013-2014 school year should also enroll during this pre-enrollment period.
For new students who wish to enroll for the 2013-2014 school year, Open Enrollment will be February 11-14. Applications will not be accepted prior to February 11. Prior to the first day of Open Enrollment, TMSA will provide the number of seats available in Open Enrollment for each grade. For each grade with seats available, all students who submit the necessary paperwork during Open Enrollment will receive an equal opportunity to attend TMSA. You must be a Fulton County resident districted for Fulton County Schools in order to apply.
During the Open Enrollment period, for each grade with seats available, if we receive more applications than spots available for a particular grade, a lottery will be held for the available seats. On February 6 the lottery for current siblings will be held and Februaury 26 for applicants applying during open enrollment.
We will continue to enroll after the Open Enrollment period on a first come, first served basis. Once any particular grade is considered full then a numbered wait list will begin and continue through the start of the 2013-2014 school year. If the applications received during the Open Enrollment period for a particular grade do not exceed the number of available seats, all students will be accepted. All families will be notified in writing of acceptance or placement on the wait list.
