Notice

Per the admissions process defined in the school’s charter application and its contract with
the Poudre School District (PSD), Liberty Common School (LCS) complies with federal and
state laws regarding nondiscrimination. LCS makes no distinction on account of disability,
race, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, religion,
ancestry, or need for special education services of any student who seeks admission.
Furthermore, admission will be offered publicly to incoming students with an effort to
invite all families in the Poudre School District to carefully review the LCS Charter and
enroll their children if the parents value the school’s philosophy and educational offering.

Attendance by a parent or guardian at a public-information night is recommended, and results
in priority status for lottery enrollment. This recommendation ensures all
parents/guardians understand Liberty’s philosophy and educational approach prior
to enrollment. Exceptions to the public-information-night attendance prioritization are
considered on a limited, case-by-case basis by the Headmaster, Principals, and Board of Directors.

Vacancies exist whenever the number of students enrolled in class is below that class’ capacity.
As vacancies occur, those vacancies are filled using a lottery system. Students are eligible
to fill a vacancy after participating in a conference between the student, parent, Headmaster
and/or an administrator designee to discuss curriculum, required levels of performance,
dress code, rules, and other expectations. This conference may include discussions
of academic achievement in previous schools and written or verbal evaluations. LCS
does not mandate any student testing prior to acceptance, nor do test scores or previous
academic performance affect a student’s chances at admission. Upon completion of the
meeting and a review of the student’s academic data, the administration provides a
grade-level recommendation for the student.

By submitting this form I understand that my child/ren's name(s) are being placed in a Lottery
Pool for Liberty Common, and that I will be contacted if an opening is available. My name will
remain on the list unless otherwise requested. Enrollment priority is given to students residing in
the Poudre School District. It is my responsibility to contact the school with any phone or
address changes.

The following categories of applicants are exempt from the lottery-enrollment procedure in the following
order of precedence:

  • Currently enrolled students
  • Total of the following two groups not to exceed 20% of total enrollment:
    • Children and grandchildren of Founders as defined in the charter contract with Poudre School District and
    • Children of full-time staff
  • Siblings of currently enrolled students

The lottery-enrollment procedure is then implemented to fill remaining vacancies in the following order of precedence:

  • Students on the lottery list residing within the Poudre School
    District whose parent or guardian has attended a public information night.
  • Students on the lottery list residing within the Poudre School District
    whose parent or guardian has not attended a public information night.
  • Students on the lottery list residing outside the Poudre School District
    whose parent or guardian has attended a public information night.
