The<br>charter school and the APC may attempt to accommodate all of those applicants in the future<br>by considering providing additional classroom space and hiring additional staff to meet the<br>increased demand.

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<br>those open slots as they become open. The students selected for openings (associated with<br>those numbers) will be notified in writing within 5 business days of the lottery date. In the<br>event there are more slots available then students, the recruitment and lottery for<br>additional students will be held again before the last day in May and again in the first two<br>weeks in August. Following the start of the school year, assuming there are open slots and<br>no students on the waiting list, the school will have open enrollment until capacity is<br>reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the selection process, students will enroll at Tu\u0142en Charter School using a<br>centralized enrollment system through KPBSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1014\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/tulen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/01\/Traditional-Values-Wheel-2021-7.5-200dpi-1014x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-537\" style=\"width:722px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/tulen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/01\/Traditional-Values-Wheel-2021-7.5-200dpi-1014x1024.png 1014w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/tulen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/01\/Traditional-Values-Wheel-2021-7.5-200dpi-297x300.png 297w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/tulen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/01\/Traditional-Values-Wheel-2021-7.5-200dpi-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/tulen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/01\/Traditional-Values-Wheel-2021-7.5-200dpi-768x776.png 768w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/tulen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/01\/Traditional-Values-Wheel-2021-7.5-200dpi-495x500.png 495w, https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/tulen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/01\/Traditional-Values-Wheel-2021-7.5-200dpi.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pre-Enrollment is open for the 2026-2027 School Year.
