ADMISSIONS Admission is not limited based upon ethnicity, nationality, origin, gender, income level, disabling condition, proficiency in the English language or athletic ability. There are no tuition or fees charged for attending Cornerstone Charter School. Cornerstone will admit all eligible pupils who submit timely applications. REQUIREMENTS FOR ENROLLMENT In order to enroll at Cornerstone Charter School parents and prospective students must schedule an appointment with the enrollment secretary. If the student is under 18 years old, a parent or guardian must accompany the student to the appointment. Along with a completed enrollment packet, the following documents are required: Birth Certificate Immunization Records Official Withdrawal Form (original) Official Transcripts from previous schools attended Testing Records Social Security Card, if applicable Individual Educational Plan (IEP) and 3-Year Evaluation, if applicable Any other documentation as specified at time of enrollment WAITING LIST Cornerstone Charter School  will make every attempt to accommodate students seeking admission. However, each year the Arizona Department of Education limits the number of students who can be enrolled. When the enrollment cap is met, a waiting list is established. When a space becomes available, the school will use a lottery system to determine the next student to be enrolled. ORIENTATION All students must successfully complete school orientation. Orientation refers to the first 5 consecutive days that the student is scheduled to attend. A student who is absent, tardy, disruptive, does not complete what the instructor (s)  feel is an adequate amount of work or does not comply with other school policies, may be dropped and placed on the waiting list. ATTENDANCE POLICIES Regular attendance at school has been directly linked to academic success and created positive attitudes toward responsibility that will carry over into adult life. State law also requires regular attendance by students of school age (6-16). In the event of absence, parents/guardians are expected to notify the school in writing before the day of the absence, or by telephone the day of the absence. For absences greater than one day in length, the school should be notified for each day of the absence. MAKE UP TIME Students are required to make up time if they miss a day of school. The time needs to be made up within the week that they were absent. If school hours are not made up, the absence (s) will be counted towards the student's three (3) absences and he/she is in jeopardy of being withdrawn. Make up time is to be completed by staying after school in a designated area of the school and working on missed classroom assignments or extra credit work. NOTE: Students are required to sign in and out to receive credit for make up time. No exceptions. Arizona State Requirements
