ISAAC is a free, public
middle school option for students in southeastern Connecticut
districts. Instead of a child's middle school in the home district, he
or she could attend ISAAC instead at no cost. Simply fill out the
application to be submitted into a lottery. Students will then be
randomly chosen to attend ISAAC. Students not chosen will be put onto a
waiting list. Quite often, many students from the waiting list are also
accepted before the school year begins.

Caregivers AND their 5th grade students from our 12 participating

The Lottery
ALL
students entering grades 6-8 in fall of 2007 are eligible to come to
ISAAC for free. However, ISAAC only has 180 slots available for all
three grades. Current students who are returning are guaranteed to keep
their slot, and siblings of current students or alumni would also be
guaranteed a slot. All new applicants would be put into a LOTTERY and
names are randomly selected for all available seats. ISAAC does not
select students based on any criteria (e.g., grades, activities,
etc.)-- becoming a student at ISAAC is a matter of applying and having
your name randomly selected! The
lottery for the 2008 - 2009 school year will take place at 9:00 AM on
Friday, April 25.
The
deadline for the lottery for incoming students in 2006-07 is April 28. All
applications must be submitted by April 24th at 3:00 PM in order
to
be drawn from the lottery.
Waiting List
Students
not selected during the initial lottery are placed on a waiting list.
Similar to the lottery, each name is randomly selected and placed on
the waiting list in that order. Therefore, if a slot becomes available,
the first person on the waiting list will be accepted to attend ISAAC.
