Enrollment FAQ

Current Students

Students currently attending ELA do not need to reapply to the school through the open enrollment process, but will need to complete returning student registration available with their Aspire login. 

New Students

Siblings of current students who want to attend should sign up using the open enrollment process.

Families will be notified via email of their child’s acceptance into the school through the computerized lottery program. Families selected will be notified of the next steps in the registration process and what timeline they will need to follow.

Please keep in mind if you previously enrolled for the current school year and your child was not selected through the lottery, you will need to re-enroll in the database for subsequent school years. Students not chosen through the lottery program will not be automatically included in the lottery for future school years.

Siblings of current ELA students attending other schools will receive first preference of any openings in the school. Every effort will be made to accept all siblings in an individual family, but this may not be possible due to caps on class sizes.

Non Discrimination

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces four federal statutes that prohibit discrimination in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance from the Department of Education (ED). ELA does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, or age.

Please contact the front office if you have any questions regarding open enrollment.
