Enrollment
Eligible students will be invited to submit the Intent to Enroll form before an initial February 1 deadline.  This may be obtained from the Talented and Gifted office at 120 East Harris Street or by contacting Paula Sween at (920) 832-4604 or sweenpaula@aasd.k12.wi.us.
 
Enrollment Procedures
  • If more forms are received than spots are available, a lottery will determine enrollment and waiting list order.  Forms received after the lottery draw are added to the waiting list in the order received.
  • If fewer forms are received, all students will be placed.  Additional forms will be collected until the first Friday in May.  If a lottery is required it will take place on this date, following the procedures above.  This allows for the open enrollment deadlines to be followed.
  • If space remains after the first Friday in May, students will be placed in the order in which forms are received, until the spots are full.  Subsequent forms will be collected and a lottery held only if space becomes available.
  • Students open-enrolling in AASD from other districts will be notified after May 13 (as per Wisconsin statute) about the availability of space at Odyssey-Magellan
  • Odyssey students are guaranteed a space at Magellan if they submit a Magellan Intent to Enroll form by February 1.
  • Magellan students have the option to choose which Appleton High School they will attend.
