LOTTERY REGISTRATION
Open Enrollment Lottery Registration Form 2012 - 13.pdf
Brighten Academy will hold a lottery drawing Monday, March 5th 2012 at 6:00 p.m. at Heritage Baptist Church. In order to be entered into the lottery drawing, a lottery registration form must be completed and brought to the school. Forms can be dropped off on business days between February 1st 2012 thru February 15th 2012 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure that all information on the form is correct and the form is received in the front office during the designated time frame. A lottery ticket will be given as receipt for the form. It is imperative that parents/guardians verify their child's name and correct grade level on the list prior to the lottery drawing. This list will be posted at the front office the week before the lottery drawing. We strongly encourage parents/guardians to attend the lottery drawing. We will offer tours again once the lottery drawing has been completed. The tour will be open for families who received a spot for the 2012/2013 school year and also for families who are in the top 10 on the wait list for each grade level. The tours will be on Thursday, March 15th at 9:30 a.m. and Friday, March 16.

Brighten’s “Tree of Life” represents our ongoing effort to ensure that we are “bridging the gap” for ALL of our stellar students.
Here’s how it works:
