Magnet Lottery
Kindergarten Magnet Enrollment Process
Families interested in enrolling their incoming kindergarten student in a magnet school are required to complete and submit an application. Families who have an older student(s) currently enrolled at RSI, SEA or FAIR School Pilgrim Lane must also complete an application for their incoming kindergarten student; siblings of currently enrolled students, who meet the application deadline, will receive a seat through the sibling preference policy.
If the school has more applicants than space available, new kindergarten students will be selected by lottery.
