How to Apply
To apply to our school, you must participate in our enrollment lottery. We use a third-party system called Lotterese to manage both the lottery and the waitlist, ensuring fairness and transparency. As an independent platform, Lotterese operates without any influence from school staff, meaning the lottery results cannot be altered or manipulated. To enter the lottery, you will need a link, which will be provided after attending a tour or Open House (details below). The lottery will be held on March 14th, 2025, and you will be notified of the results.
​
If you are interested in our Homeschool program, you can skip the tour and complete this form instead.

Para solicitar en nuestra escuela, tendrá que participar en nuestra inscripción de lotería. Usamos el sistema llamado Lotterese, para manejar nuestra lotería de inscripción y la lista de espera para lograr transparencia y equidad. Dado que Lotterese es un sistema independiente, el personal de la escuela no tiene la capacidad de ajustar o manipular los resultados de la lotería. Para participar en la loteria, necesitará el enlace que sera proveido despues de atender nuestra Casa Abierta o asistido en un gira escolar (citada). La lotería se llevará a cabo el 14 de marzo de 2025 y le notificaremos los resultados.

Open House & Tours
We hope that parents will come tour our school and attend the Open House. The tours give prospective families a look around campus, see a school day in action and check out the classrooms, both indoor and out. The Open House is a chance for families to hear from the Executive Director, teachers, students and the PTO. Attending both events will give a fully rounded view of Creekside Charter School although you will only need to attend one event in order to enter the lottery.
Open House
Our Open House is held at Creekside Charter School on Friday, Feb 28th, 2025 from 10:00am to 11:00am. Sign up below.
Tours
We hold tours often throughout tour season. Some weeks are focused on 1st through 8th grade tours and others are specific to TK/K. If you have a child going into TK/K, please sign up for those tours. We have special programs in TK/K that are important to learn more about before applying to the lottery. Sign up below.
​
​If you are unable to attend a tour or the Open House, please contact our Executive Director via email at jkraunz@creeksidetahoe.org.

Esperamos que los padres vengan a visitar nuestra escuela y asistan a la Casa Abierta o los Recorridos. Estas visitas le ofrecen un vistazo al campus para ver un día escolar en acción y revisar las clases, tanto en el interior como en el exterior. La Casa Abierta es una oportunidad para que las familias escuchen al Director Ejecutivo, los maestros, estudiantes y el PTO. Asistir a ambos eventos le brindará una visión completa de Creekside Charter School, aunque solo necesitará asistir a un evento para poder participar en la lotería.
Casa Abierta
Nuestra jornada de puertas abiertas se llevó a cabo en Creekside Charter School el viernes 28 de febrero de 2025 de 10:00 a. m. a 11:00 a. m.
Recorridos
Ofrecemos recorridos con frecuencia durante la temporada de giras escolar. Algunas semanas se centran en recorridos para los grados de primero a octavo y otras son específicas para TK/K. Si tiene un hijo que va a asistir a TK/K, por favor regístrese en esos recorridos. Tenemos programas especiales en TK/K sobre los cuales es importante aprender más antes de anotarse para la lotería.

​Si no puede asistir un gira o Casa Abierta, por favor conectese con nuestro Director Ejecutivo Jeff Kraunz via correo electrónico en jkraunz@creeksidetahoe.org
