General Enrollment: 

Families with students wishing to attend Hulstrom Options will need to apply for admission by using the district’s Schools of Choice Program. The 1st round of choice opens on December 1st and closes on January 31st. Applications will be available online through the Adams 12 website http://www.adams12.org/choice and/or at the school. Due to great interest from in-district families, the district will not accept applications from families that live outside of the Adams 12 boundaries.

All potential kindergarten students will go through a kindergarten readiness screening. Screening will be scheduled by Hulstrom Options after January 7, 2013 and with the last day of testing occurring on February 2nd. If the screening determines that Hulstrom Options is an appropriate placement, the student will be considered for admission. Based on the screening results, students will be selected for the Gifted and Talented Program or the Advanced Academic Program (both programs are academically very rigorous and are explained in more detail below). Once the kindergarten screening is complete, students are selected by lottery and space availability. Applicants for the upper grades will be screened using their school records and other pertinent information. For all levels, siblings who qualify to attend Hulstrom Options will be given priority.

A parent information night MUST be attended in order for the application to be considered. Contact the school for information night dates and times. The parent information night will consist of a presentation regarding the school, and selected teachers will be available to answer questions.

Kindergarten 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. The Hulstrom Options kindergarten is considered highly rigorous, and the expectation is on academics. We challenge our students beyond what a traditional school will and the expectation for parental involvement reflects this.
