STEP 4

Participate in academic testing if deemed necessary.  (See special admission screening required of all Kindergarten students.)

STEP 5

Participate in a Group Orientation and/or an Admissions Interview with the Principal, Assistant Principal, or designee.  (School administration reviews all applications, conducts the interviews and testing, and, under the authority of the School Board, admits those students who fall within the admission policy.)

All students are admitted on a probationary basis for the first nine weeks.  Applicants may not be allowed to continue if they have physical, emotional, academic, or discipline problems preventing CCS from fulfilling its objectives with them and/or other students.  If students finish their first nine weeks with less than a 1.70 grade point average, they will not be allowed to continue.
