Priority Reenrollment information for Returning Families

Priority Reenrollment and the Discount Registration Period for current families will begin on
Tuesday, January 23rd, after 7:30am Reenrollment is online only

Dear Current ALCS Families,

Greetings to you in Christ! We hope this finds you and your family well, and we are grateful that you have chosen to continue your children’s educational journey with us at Alta Loma Christian School.

In recent years, our school has grown to its highest enrollment in school history. Classrooms and programs are alive with learning, charitable giving is strong, and we continue to be a leader as a faith-based STEM school for our children and their finest future.

As we continue our journey as the ALCS Family, I want you to know you and your children are loved and treasured. The relationships we have nurtured together have grown and undergirded our unique school culture where care, encouragement, and exemplary education are genuine traits we daily share. 

Due to the high-achieving performance of our students and staff- and the blessings and favor of God- our school continues to be honored and respectful at local, state, and national levels. This reputation has resulted in steady and increasing interest by prospective new families hoping to attend ALCS, even though many of our classes have been full with waiting lists at various points throughout the past several school years 

Because of this, we feel it is important to offer you-as a current ALCS family-the opportunity to take advantage of priority registration before open enrollment begins. Returning Family Priority Reenrollment for the 2024-2025 school year begins on Tuesday, January 23rd, on a first-come, first-served basis, and will be online only. Registration will no be accepted before that date and time.

This is crucial for families to understand, because it means that even during the Returning Family Priority Reenrollment period, a seat is not secured for next year until ALL 3 steps have been completed. in other words, we expect that some classes will fill and start waiting lists even before new family registration begins the night of Open House on Thursday, February 15th, due to limited classroom space and shifting enrollment per grade level.

Registration Discount Period

While registration will be increasing for the first time in many years, returning families that register on or before Thursday, February 15, 2024 will receive a $100 per student discount off of the regular registration fee! (This means a registration fee of $300 rather than $400-a maximum of $550 per family-if you complete your registration on or before February 15.)

However, once again, please note that open enrollment for new families will begin the evening of Thursday, February 15. which is the date of this year's Open House. At that time, any seats not already taken by returning families will be made available to new families, continuing on a first-come, first-served basis until all seats are taken.

Reenrollment Steps

Re-enrollment forms will be accepted online on Tuesday, January 23rd after 7:30 am. All steps below must be completed to retain your child's spot for the 2024-2025 school year: Please reach out to Mrs. Olivia Cleland at [email protected] with any questions about the enrollment process, or call the school office at (909) 989-2804.

If a sibling is registering for the first time, please include his/her name and birthday on the Financial Agreement as well. Instructions to register new students are included below. Processing may take up to 3 business days, as they are processed in the order they are received. 

STEP 2

All health documents must be submitted prior to the first day of school.

Required Health Documents

 

New Student-Sibling Enrollment

If you are registering a sibling for the first time, you may obtain a new student packet on our New Family Enrollment page or in the school office. Please email the completed packet and required documents to Mrs. Cleland at [email protected]. This packet may be submitted after the completion of the 3 steps of the re-enrollment process and for your current. You may also upload all health documents like immunization records, birth certificates, etc. through your child’s SIS online enrollment. Entrance assessments and acceptance will begin in March 2024, and all documents must be submitted before assessment appointments will be scheduled.
 
Tuition and Payments 
 
Tuition will be increasing just under 4% for the next academic year. This is due to inflation, increased costs of operations, increases in minimum wage, undergirding salaries for teachers, and the expenses of providing an exceptional, high-performing, innovative private school education. While tuition is increasing, we have worked diligently to keep the increase as low as possible.
 
Facts tuition payments may be spread over 12 months, or 10 months, offering two monthly payment options to make tuition more affordable for our families. 
 
In addition we are continuing to offer flexibility with the option of families paying the annual Technology Fee of $475 per child as part of their monthly Tuition Management FACTS payment. There is no additional charge for this option 
 
Referral Opportunity 
 
Returning families can help offset next year's tuition increase by referring a new family to ALCS. When you refer a new family to ALCS, your family will receive a $300 referral bonus. And if you refer more than one new family, additional credits will be added to your account to reduce your tuition!
