New for 2010: Online Application! Beginning this season, you are now able to apply to the Saturday Enrichment Program online. Before you begin, please read all the instructions below. Applications are due December 1, 2009.
How to Apply Online:
1) Decide which location you would like your child to attend. Classes are offered in three locations this year: in Charlottesville, in Orange County, and in Fauquier County. Review the classes offered at your location for students in your child's grade:
Charlottesville Courses Orange Courses Fauquier Courses
2) Obtain the email address of the teacher you wish to recommend your child. It is a very good idea to test the email address first, before you enter it into this application. The wrong email address will delay the application. If you know you have the correct address because you have successfully emailed the teacher in the past, we advise copy/pasting their address into the form to make sure there are no typos.
3) Click on the application link below. Create an account using the primary email address for your family. Enter your child's name and choose a password. If you have more than one child applying, you will create separate accounts for each. You can use the same email address and password as long as each child's name is different.
4) Identify which location and grade you are applying to. If applying to the Charlottesville location, you will also be asked to choose the early or the late class or indicate that either is acceptable.
5) Answer all required elements on the application page. Please include a cell phone number or phone number where we can reach you on Saturday mornings in case of emergency. Indicate which classes your child would like to attend, in the order that they prefer. You can prioritize them all, or indicate "not interested" if there is a class your child definitely would not enjoy. This page will time out after approximately 1.5 hours. If that happens to you, just exit and sign back in to your account. When completed, proceed to the Parent Evaluation.
6) Answer questions on the Parent Evaluation about your child's interests and learning styles and submit this form.
7) Your status page will now appear, with a status of 'pending'. Click on the link to the teacher recommendation form and enter the name and email address of the teacher who will provide the recommendation for your child. If you don't have that information yet, you can return to your status page anytime and add this information. The teacher will then receive an email automatically, and will be able to respond quickly and easily with their comments.
At this point the application is complete. You will receive an email acknowledging our receipt of the application and a second email letting you know when the teacher completes their recommendation. Applications are due by December 1, 2009, including the teacher recommendation. We will notify you of acceptance decisions on or before December 21, 2009.
