A: We did strive to accommodate track preferences but couldn't always honor first choices due to grade ratio requirements. Our track rosters are carefully balanced, and as a result, we won't be making changes.
Q: Is my track assignment final?
A: Yes. Parents can apply for a track change each spring for consideration for the following school year.
Q: Why do I need to accept or reject my seat using the Accept/Reject Form?
A: Due to our capped capacity, there's already a waitlist for kindergarten. To prioritize base students, we need your confirmation on accepting or declining a seat at Olive Chapel Elementary for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Q: I have questions that have not been answered about my rising kindergartner. What should I do?
A: If you have any questions or concerns regarding this decision, please fill out the Question/Concerns Form first. We will review your questions and call you back at a time that is convenient for you during the school's office hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. -
