Open Enrollment Window: January 7, 2025 - March 8, 2025
This school year, we are excited to launch our new online enrollment portal, making it easier than ever to enroll at Grow Public Schools. Families can complete the enrollment process online by visiting our website and following the link to the portal.
​
To ensure your child has the best chance of securing a spot, we encourage families to register early. If the number of applications exceeds available spaces, a public random drawing (lottery) will be held to determine enrollment. Don’t miss the opportunity—apply during the Open Enrollment period to be included in the lottery!
We also encourage you to share this exciting opportunity with your network! If you are a new family, have a relative, or know a friend who is interested in enrolling, we invite you to help us spread the word and join us at Grow Public Schools.
Thank you for being a part of our Grow community—we can’t wait to welcome new families and students as we continue to grow together.
​
A public virtual lottery via Zoom will take place if we have more Intent to Enroll forms than seats in a specific grade.
​
The Grow Academy Shafter public lottery will be held on March 26 at 4:30 PM, and the Grow Academy Arvin public lottery will take place on March 27 at 4:30 PM.
Lottery Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/93601770596
Parents will receive a Zoom link two weeks prior to the event followed by a few reminders from SchoolMint.
