Roxboro Community School Open Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year is officially underway! We are once again partnering with Lotterease to offer an online application/enrollment process. The link to submit an application is on the Enrollment Page of our website (https://www.roxborocs.org/page/enrollment). We will be accepting applications for the 2024-2025 school year from now until March 5, 2024. If we have more applications than openings, we will hold an online lottery on March 7, 2024. A few reminders * Students who are currently attending Roxboro Community School DO NOT need to re-apply to attend next school year. * Siblings of current students or alumni DO need to complete an application to attend RCS next year. They are given preference in the lottery because they are the sibling** of a current student or alumni. But they do have to apply by the March 5, 2024 deadline or the Lotterease computer system will automatically place them on a waiting list. [**"Sibling" includes brothers or sisters, half-siblings, step-siblings, or foster siblings living in the same household.] * Paper copies of the 2024-2025 application are available at the Front Desk for anyone who does not have internet or computer access. Please visit the Enrollment page on our website (https://www.roxborocs.org/page/enrollment) for more information about applying, upcoming tours, and our perspective student night coming up, or contact RCS Registrar, Jodi DeVillier, at 336.597.0020, ext 322 or devillierjh@roxborocs.org if you have questions or concerns.
