The priority order in the lottery setting process is:

What happens once I am notified that my child has been offered an available seat?
Will my student have to participate in the lottery each year?
No. Once officially attending, all ARCA students have the opportunity to re-enroll for future years. Students who do NOT re-enroll by the deadline cannot be guaranteed a seat for the forthcoming school year.
Will the grade-level waiting lists for the current school year carry over into the enrollment period for the following school year?
