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.

To enable families to make informed educational choices, Liberty Common School hosts regular
Public-Information Nights for families interested in enrolling at LCS. Attendance at a
Public-Information Night is a required step for a student’s name to be placed in the enrollment
lottery pool. This requirement ensures families understand the school’s philosophy, expectations,
and academic program prior to enrollment. Upcoming dates and details for Public-Information
Nights are available on our website.

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. Enrollment
priority is given to students residing in the Poudre School District. It is my responsibility to
contact the school with any phone or residential address changes.
