APPLICATION TIMELINE FOR THE 2025 - 2026 PROGRAM YEAR

• March 1    -    Enrollment Opens (online applications)
• August 1   -    Families notified by email of eligibility 

Best practices for Families:

• Families should check their email frequently and respond immediately. Applications cannot be processed until they are complete. 
• Emails are sent from "School Messenger" or "ChildPlus Messenger"
• The Subject line will say "Incomplete Application."  
• Emails will request missing documents and provide a link to follow to upload missing documents. 

Families Who Have Completed the Application Before:

• Families who have completed an application online for a different child will already have an account or application on file.  These families must email ascensionearlychildhood@apsb.org and "request a new link for a new child." 
  • Please include in the email:
    • Parent's name
    • Child's name and date of birth
    • Name of program (public school pre-K, Head Start, or early learning center)
    • Request a new link to apply for a new child for the new academic year 
• Remember families cannot go back to the application to make changes or upload a missing document. A new link is needed and can ONLY be provided by email request (email requests at ascensionearlychildhood@apsb.org).

Enrollment Reminders:

• Families will be notified by email of an acceptance or rejection to the program by August 1  
• Ascension does not have a tuition-based seat program in public schools.
• Applications cannot be processed until they are "complete," which means all required documents are uploaded.
• Once all seats are filled, the remaining students will be placed on a waiting list if a seat is not available for which they qualify.
