Application and Registration
Use this application link if you're interested in transferring your student to our school for the 2024-2025 school year. Sigsbee Charter School has an open application period throughout the year. In grade levels where interest exceeds the number of seats, the school maintains a waitlist. Please complete the application form (link above) in order to be placed on our waiting list and please complete an application for each student interested in attending. This list expires on May 30, 2025. Mrs. Rosch, our Enrollment Specialist (Leslie.Rosch@Sigsbee.org), will confirm receipt of your application via email within five school days. Please add this email address to your contacts, so her messages are not diverted to your junk folder. Please contact Mrs. Rosch via e-mail or by calling (305) 294-1861 with any questions.
Post Lottery Process
Once the lottery is held, the results are reviewed by staff, then all participants are notified within 24 hours via email of the lottery results. Those receiving offers to join our school will receive instructions on how to register their student(s). Families have 14 days to complete the registration process. After this time, if the registration form is incomplete and if the family has not contacted the school, the offer will be retracted and the next family on the waiting list will be contacted to register their student with us. Families receiving notice that their child is waitlisted will know what position they have. Please know that rosters fluctuate throughout the summer as we receive word of families unexpectedly leaving or staying.

We never enjoy losing our students though we know new experiences are part of growing up. Your early notification of student withdrawal allows us to appropriately plan for students on our waiting list and ensures that we can organize your child's school records in a timely manner.
