Feeling a Bit Lost When Completing the Online Admissions App? Check Out Our Video Overview to Answer Your Questions.

I’d like to begin with a word of thanks to our applicants on two items: 1) a special thank you for your patience as we transition to the use of a new online system this year; and 2) a thank you to the individuals who provided feedback on the pieces of the application process that needed clarification. At any point, do not hesitate to send us your thoughts and ideas.
We have created a video walkthrough of the Admissions Page of the website, its associated pages, and using the Family Connection system for completing your online application for the Class of 2012. The video outlines the requirements for admission to the Gatton Academy, the materials necessary to complete the application, and the screens in Family Connection you will need to access.
As a reminder, all materials for Class of 2012 applicants are due to the Gatton Academy by February 15, 2010. Students applying for Second Semester Admission for the Class of 2011 must submit all materials no later than Monday, December 7, 2009.
Finally, we wish to invite you to attend our final Preview Weekend of the current admissions cycle on Saturday, January 30, 2010. We apologize that this is also the date for several district Governor’s Cup tournaments. No weekend is perfect for everyone. We do plan to pay particular attention to KAAC events next year in hopes of maximizing opportunities for students to visit a Preview Weekend.
As of yesterday, 200 names of students have been added to our system as current applicants. While only time will tell if each of the students meets the requirements and completes the full application, we expect there to be a great depth to our pool of applicants and a wealth of talent available from which to choose. Days like these remind us of the infinite possibilities ahead.
Best,
Corey Alderdice
Assistant Director, Admissions and Public Relations
