Step 2 Mandatory Open House
Once your child’s name is on the waiting list, you will receive a letter informing you of the date of the Mandatory Open House. You must attend Open House to receive your lottery number. Open House is held annually on a Saturday in March. A make-up day is usually offered. Information about the school’s curriculum and academics, school culture, parental involvement requirements and enrichment activities are provided during Open House.

Step 3 Public Lottery
All ICEF Public Charter Schools that have a waiting list that exceeds the number of seats available hold a public lottery. The lottery is held on a Saturday in the month of April. Only families who attended an Open House will have a number in the lottery. All of these families will receive a letter informing them of the date of the Public Lottery. Attendance at the Public Lottery is not mandatory but it is recommended.

Step 4 Enrollment
Congratulations and welcome to the family of ICEF Public Schools! Students whose lottery numbers are pulled will then receive an enrollment packet. This packet includes emergency card forms, the free and reduced lunch application, the parental volunteer contract, etc. Enrollment is held annually in late June or early July.

Student admission lottery application

During the Spring term present View Park Prep students are given the option to reenroll for the upcoming school year.   As soon as you have made the decision to reenroll, please complete your forms (see links below) and return them to the Office Manager.

Please contact the Office Manager if you have any questions regarding the reerollment process.

As a public charter school, View Park Prep is obligated by law to collect socio-economic data on the students and families we serve.  It is imperative that this data be accurate.  We encourage all parents to complete this form, regardless of whether your child will actually participate in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch program. 

Accurate data enables View Park Prep and the Inner City Education Foundation to raise as much state, federal and private funds as possible to best serve our students.

Dear Parents,

Your highest education level attained is an important piece of data collected by the state via your child on standardized testing. It is crucial that your child be accurately informed of your education level. The state uses this data as a metric to categorize schools and compare test results between different schools and sub-group populations.

For example, in the past our students have erroneously reported that 90% of their parents completed college. If true, that would be a tremendous boon to our school community, however it would also make us one of the most educated school parents bodies in the nation-higher than nearly every $20K per year private school in the country. The error made View Park Prep appear overly qualified, and in fact not educating an at-risk population at all.

The point is to be accurate so we are judged and compared to other schools accurately. We do not want to belittle the accomplishments of the students by making them seem to be more priveledged than they actually are. At the same time, we do not want to embellish hardship statisitcs like 100% Free and Reduced Lunch, unless that is accurate.

Please inform your child clearly on whether you have completed High School, some Collge, a College Degree, some Graduate School, a Graduate Degree, etc.

The entire school community will benefit from this gesture.

The emergeny card for your student must be filled out during registration. This card provides vital information for the school community to support the well being of your child in case an emergent situation should arise.

Please update changes to your Emergency Card information immediately via an email to the Office Manager.
