2026-2027 Enrollment/Registration. We are honored to welcome all our new students and families to the Tułen Charter School family, a new educational path created in partnership between the Kenaitze Indian Tribe and the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District.
Please take a moment to register your incoming student for the 2026-2027 school year. In order to register in the KPBSD, new to the district students and kindergarteners are required to provide the following before attending school:
Meet immunization requirements
Registration Times/Dates: Thursday, August 6th and Friday, August 7th @ 12:00 – 4:30.
Admission Policy and Procedure
Tułen Charter School shall enroll all eligible students who submit a timely application, unless
the number of those applications exceeds the capacity of the program, class, grade level, or
building. In the event of an excess of those applications, students will go on a waiting list. The
charter school and the APC may attempt to accommodate all of those applicants in the future
by considering providing additional classroom space and hiring additional staff to meet the
increased demand. If it is not possible within the building to accommodate all eligible students
who submit an application, students shall be accepted by random drawing until capacity is
reached.
Enrollment and Waitlist Numbers
Tułen Charter School recruitment will consist of dissemination of information about the
school and its offerings through advertisements in print and online news outlets, as well as
social media.
In the event there is more interest than available slots after the enrollment priorities are
honored, a lottery system will be employed.
Families interested in enrolling their children in the school will be encouraged to submit
their application (student names and grade levels) for entrance to the school by the last
business day of January each year. On the 5th business day of February, each student will be assigned a random number by a random number generator. The mechanism for a lottery will be sorting those random numbers. The lowest number will receive the first student enrollment and will continue to higher numbers until all openings are filled. In the event there are more students than available slots, a waiting list will be compiled with the remaining numbers, in order from lowest to highest, selected to fill
those open slots as they become open. The students selected for openings (associated with
those numbers) will be notified in writing within 5 business days of the lottery date. In the
event there are more slots available then students, the recruitment and lottery for
additional students will be held again before the last day in May and again in the first two
weeks in August. Following the start of the school year, assuming there are open slots and
no students on the waiting list, the school will have open enrollment until capacity is
reached.
Following the selection process, students will enroll at Tułen Charter School using a
centralized enrollment system through KPBSD.
