Process:
Fill out the following forms, be sure to print off a hard copy of each form.
Once you have printed off each completed form, put the Academy Checklist on top, this now becomes your registration packet.
Depending on your current situation will determine what needs to be done next.
A. If your student is currently a "high school" student in the Meridian School District:
1. Take your completed packet to his/her current high school counselor so that
he/she can fill out the Academy Checklist.
2. Once the counselor has filled out the checklist and has attached any other
forms to the packet, bring the packet to Central Academy.
Please do not bring the packet to Central until the packet is complete.
B. If your student is:
* currently a "high school" student but not in the Meridian School
District or
* currently not a high school student but has been or
* an incoming 9th grade student and has never attended a high school
1. Contact your student's high school and request the ISAT or Current Testing
Scores and write them on the Academy Checklist.
2. Request a an unofficial transcript to be sent to you and attach it to your
packet.
3. If applicable, request a copy of your student's IEP or 504 Plan to be sent to
you or if you have a copy of either of these forms, attach it to your packet and
bring the packet to Central Academy.
Please do not bring the packet to Central until the packet is complete.
3. The packet will be reviewed and if there are any questions on the application,
the Central Academy school counselor will be in contact with you.
If there are no questions, your son/daughter will be placed on the waiting list.
4. When openings arise, students will be enrolled on a first come first served basis
by class grade. Our school counselor will contact you by phone to set up a
registration meeting.
