How to Apply to an Open-Enrollment Charter School with OneApp

Important: An application does not guarantee that your child is accepted or enrolled at a school. If your child’s application is accepted or a lottery seat is offered, you will be notified via email. You will then need to complete the enrollment process (see Enrollments section below).

Step 1: Click on the student’s profile.

Once you’ve saved your student’s profile, you’ll be able to see them on the OneApp dashboard. Clicking on a student will show you two buttons: one for starting an application and one for starting an enrollment.

Step 2: Click the “Apply to an Open Enrollment Charter School” button.

On this page, you’ll be able to select an open-enrollment charter organization and a school to submit an application to.

Step 3: Fill out the form and submit.

When you’ve filled out all the required information, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page to submit your application to the selected school.

Application Statuses

Once you’ve successfully submitted an application, you can track its status. From the Students dashboard, click the child whose application(s) you’d like to view. These are the application statuses you may see:

Pending: The application has been submitted, but is still awaiting further action from the school.

• For “first-come, first-served” application windows, the status will remain Pending until the school either accepts or denies the application.
• If the application window is a lottery, the status will remain Pending until the lottery is conducted. If your child is not selected in the lottery, their status will remain Pending and they will be placed on a waitlist. You will receive updates via email regarding the lottery results and your child’s lottery number.
• For a waitlist application, the status will remain Pending until the application is either accepted or denied based on seat availability.

Seat Offered: The school has accepted the application and your child has been offered a seat, either through the regular application process or via a lottery selection.

Seat Declined: The school has denied your application, or you were offered a seat and chose to decline it.

Withdrawn: You withdrew your child’s application after it was submitted.

How to Enroll in an Open-Enrollment Charter School with OneApp

Follow the instructions to provide the required information to complete the enrollment. Your progress will automatically save as you go. If needed, you may leave the enrollment and return later.

Why do I need a OneApp account?

OneApp is used by school administrators to process applications and enrollments. Creating a OneApp account is essential for managing your child’s applications, tracking the status of submitted applications, and completing the enrollment process once a seat is offered. School administration can also send you important information via OneApp.

Does submitting an application mean my child is enrolled in a school?

No, submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. If your application is accepted or a seat at a school is offered through a lottery, you will be notified via email. Then, you will need to complete the enrollment process in OneApp. See the Enrollments section above for instructions.

What documents do I need for enrollment?

Required documents include, but are not limited to:

• Birth certificate
• Proof of residency
• Immunization records
• Court orders (if applicable)

You can upload these documents directly into OneApp during the enrollment process. If any required documents are missing from your enrollment, the school may contact you through OneApp’s messaging feature to request them.

What happens if my child is offered a seat?

If your child is offered a seat at a school, you will be notified by email. Then, you’ll need to begin the enrollment process in OneApp. See the “Enrollments” section above to learn more.

To help with planning on their end, schools can set expirations for seat offers. If you do not accept the offer within this timeframe, your child’s application could be denied.

 What happens after I submit an enrollment?

Once your child’s enrollment is submitted, you can track its status from the Enrollments section in the student dashboard. The school will review the enrollment and mark it as Completed once everything is approved. If there are any issues, the school will contact you through OneApp.

What happens if my child is offered a seat at multiple schools?

If your child is offered a seat at more than one school, you will need to decide which school your child will attend. Once you accept a seat at one school, any other seat offers will be automatically declined.

How can I contact support if I need help?
