Enrollment FAQs
K-8 FAQs
Can I place my student on your waitlist anytime?
AVA uses the DCSD Open Enrollment process. The only way to add your student to the wait list is to add your student to the list during the Open Enrollment Window (typically November - December of the previous year).
How old does my child have to be to attend kindergarten
AVA follows the Douglas County School District policy for Kindergarten age requirements. In order to enter Kindergarten, your student must be five (5) years old on or before October 1st of the year they are enrolling.
How do I know if my child is ready for Kindergarten?
In the same way that every child learns to walk at a different age, different children develop academic and social skills at different rates. We have linked a Kindergarten Readiness information sheet for your reference.
This is not a checklist, but a way for you reflect upon your child's strengths and growth areas as you prepare your child for Kindergarten. If your child has some of the skills listed in each area, your child's skills are in line with the expectations for kindergarten readiness. If your child has not yet acquired many of the skills in each area, it may indicate that your child could benefit from more experience in a structured learning environment or exposure to similar-aged peers prior to embarking on kindergarten.
How much does it cost to attend AVA?
Aspen View Academy is a tuition-free public charter school. We do not charge tuition for our K-8 students. We do have a supplies fee that is assessed yearly.
