New Student Checklist

School Records

In the application packet there is a Release of Records Form. Please fill this out and send to the student’s current school. The records must include the following:

  • transcripts
  • standardized testing
  • report cards (current and previous)
  • discipline reports
  • a teacher recommendation

Admissions Testing

Applicants to grades 1-6 should have standardized testing scores from their current school.

Interview/Shadow Day

A personal interview with the applicant and parent(s) is required. In addition, all applicants from 1st grade thru 8th grade should set up a Shadow Day, spending a full day visiting classes.

Notification

After the application file is completed and processed, HCS will notify all prospective students as to their admission status. Applications will continue to be reviewed throughout the year until openings are filled. All subsequent applicants who are offered admission will be placed on a waiting-list. Students will be drawn off the waiting list as openings become available.

Admitted Students

After notification of acceptance, the parent(s) of the student must sign and return the acceptance package within 2 weeks of notification. If the school does not receive this information by the deadline, the student’s seat may be given to a student on the waiting list.
