Should the waitlist reach a number that makes it possible for HRCS to open an additional class, a second enrollment window will be opened in January, at the end of which HRCS will conduct a second lottery for the additional spots. Students on the waitlist prior to the second enrollment window will receive priority status.

HRCS is a tuition-free K-8 school. HRCS is open to all students residing in the state of Colorado. Enrollment decisions shall be made in a nondiscriminatory manner without regard to disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, religion, ancestry, need for special education services, or any other protected class.

Enrollment Process:

Students will be granted priority enrollment in the following order: 

1. Children of HRCS staff (not to exceed 20 percent of total enrollment)

2. Children of HRCS Founding Team members (not to exceed 20 percent of total enrollment)

3. All other applicants. 

The process for priority enrollment will precede the lottery. If needed, a lottery will be used to determine the placement of students for any class for which the number of Pre-Registration forms exceeds capacity. Applicants not selected in the lottery will be placed on an order-drawn waitlist. Siblings of enrolled students for whom a seat is not available will be placed at the top of the waitlist, if applicable. Applications submitted after the enrollment period closes will be placed on the waiting list by the date of application.
