REVISED 3/2008

CWCS K-8 Sibling Enrollment Meeting

(to be used only for siblings of currently enrolled students)

 

1. Phone Interview: The CWCS Phone Interview Questions is a list of questions to discuss over the telephone prior to the enrollment meeting. As soon as the student is on your prospective list in FRED, call the parent to discuss the interview questions. Please use the family’s responses to these questions to counsel them as to whether or not this school can meet their expectations prior to completing enrollment paperwork. If you are having a conversation regarding a prospective student, and something concerns you, you need to tell the parent your concern, and give them a chance to address the issue. Consult your advisor with any concerns before making an appointment to enroll the student. The parent should not be surprised that you have a concern, but be a part of deciding if this school will work for them. Even though the family has students currently enrolled in our charter school, some of these questions may pertain to the new student that may not pertain to the siblings.

2. Before the Meeting:

For the initial enrollment meeting, print the following forms. If printed from FRED, see “Where to find FRED forms” for directions. Because the student is a sibling of active students many of the forms from the First Meeting Information Sheet were already given to the parent at the beginning of the year, only the following are needed for the sibling enrollment.

 

- Assessment Confirmation Form (please be careful to use the words: “All students must take the Mandatory School Assessment, but it may be waived by taking the Mandated STAR assessment.”)

- Sibling Enrollment Checklist

- Student Agreement (How to create a student agreement in FRED)

- Content standards for grade level

- writing sample

- AESS Contract if applicable (in FRED)

- CW Truancy Policy

-WRAT kit if K-1st grade

- Scantron

- School Survey Addendum- and then enter into FRED

 

3. At the Meeting:

- Assuming that the parent and the ES have already discussed the phone interview questions and it has been determined that CW is a good educational option for their student, proceed to enroll the student.

 

At the meeting, go through each item on the sibling enrollment checklist, and note any explanations below, retain the checklist in the student’s file in case it is needed for ES or School Office future reference.

 

*Complete the Sibling Enrollment Checklist

*Complete the Student Agreement (staple the two pages of the student agreement together, but be sure to include the Assessment Confirmation in the same envelope, if possible paperclipped to the SA, but not stapled).

*Write sibling’s name on current family rollsheet and show how to start marking first day of attendance. Draw lines through any dates in the X's and O's portion of the roll sheet that do not pertain to that student, and initial them. The beginning and ending dates written at the top of the roll sheet do not need to be changed regarding this student, just make sure that the correct number of days are written for the "total days of attendance and total days of absence".

*Have student complete Kaleidoscope Learning Styles profile (ESs may pick up copies of the inventories at the learning centers) and a writing sample (a short paragraph on why they want to attend our school, or something that they want to say about themselves.).
