Enroll in Dual Langauge Immersion

Should there be more applications for the DLI Program than the school can serve at the close of the open enrollment period, the DLI Program shall hold a random drawing. That process will proceed as follows:

1. Admission Preferences:

   Admission preferences shall be given for students residing within the boundaries of the District

   In order to take advantage of the lottery preference for District residents, proof of residency (e.g., gas or electric bill, rental agreement, escrow papers, recent property tax receipt) must be provided prior to the public random drawing.

2. Public Random Drawing:

   The public random drawing may be scheduled as early as June, and will be held if applications exceed openings. Notice of the drawing date will be posted on the VUSD web site, at the VUSD district office, and at the DLI Program- Mountain View Elementary School locations. Parent/guardians of applicants will be notified in writing of the lottery date and will be invited to attend, though attendance is not required. Names of all applicants will be placed in a container. Drawing will begin and continue until all names have been drawn. Names will be recorded by order and will be identified as having been admitted according to capacity, or placed on a wait list according to the order of their draw.

3. Admissions after the Public Random Drawing:

   Applications will continue to be accepted and will be placed in the order in which they are received. When all openings are filled, a waiting list will be started, organized by the date the application was received.

4. Wait List Procedures:

   The wait list, also referred to as an admission priority list, will allow students the option of enrollment in the case of an opening during the academic year. If an opening becomes available and the student at the top of the wait list declines, the seat will be offered to the next student on the wait list. Wait lists will not carry over school years.

5. Applications Submitted after Open Enrollment:

   Students whose applications are received after the close of the open enrollment period will be added to the bottom of the wait list in the order that the applications are received.
