Excelsior strives to provide a flexible and accommodating learning environment for all students. However, it's important to understand that on-campus classes are subject to availability. Enrollment into these classes can be limited due to factors such as classroom size, and course demand.
During priority registration, once an on-campus class reaches its maximum capacity, we implement a waitlist for subsequent enrollments. Priority registration is determined based on each student’s enrollment date to ensure that students have an equitable chance to secure a spot in their desired on-campus course(s).
In the event that a student does not secure a spot in an on-campus class, the student will be enrolled into the independent study course, supported by a credentialed teacher and dedicated Independent Study teacher. Additionally, these students will be enrolled into a zoom class (for Math and English), allowing them to continue their education with structured support. Furthermore, if a student is unable to enroll into their desired on-campus class, they will automatically be placed on a waitlist for that class(es). This waitlist allows them to be moved into the class should a spot become available.
Should a spot become available for the student's desired on-campus class, the parent/guardian will receive a phone call from the school to notify them of the availability and confirm whether they would like to proceed with enrollment into the on-campus class. Parents/guardians will have 48 hours to respond to this confirmation. Once confirmed, the parent/guardian will receive a start date, and the student's new schedule will be provided. All relevant information including access to the new course in Canvas which includes their new teacher's contact information and course syllabus and the student and parent/guardian Aeries portal will be updated within 24 hours of the student's start date. Your student's grade from their prior course will also be transferred into the new on-campus course gradebook.
It is important to note that moving students from the waitlist into on-campus classes is an ongoing process throughout the year. However, transfers into on-campus classes will not occur within the last two weeks of the quarter or semester.
