Registration
General Registration: 

Beginning with admissions for the 2012-13 school year, families with students wishing to attend STEM Magnet Lab or STEM Launch will need to apply for admission by using the district’s Schools of Choice Program.  Families will be able to apply to the STEM program beginning December 1st through the Adams 12 Choice website: www.adams12.org/choice   Application deadline is February 1st.  The Schools of Choice/Enrollment Office will hold a lottery for both STEM Lab and STEM Launch in order to determine placement.  Students will be placed at either school depending upon space availability.  Siblings of students already attending STEM Lab or STEM Launch will have priority in the admissions lottery for the school their sibling is attending.  Priority will be given to in-district students and determined by a lottery system based on five geographic zones within the Adams 12 district.  Out-of-district students will only be accepted for admittance after all in-district requests have been met. 

 Kindergarten at either STEM Lab or STEM Launch is a full-day, tuition-based program.  There is a tuition fee of $300.00 a month.  There is a $25.00 late fee for payments not paid by the first of every month.  There is an opportunity for a scholarship for families who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
