Dear Potential Parents of TMSA,

Thank you so much for your interest in TMSA Public Charter Schools. Your demand for our schools again humbles us. We have received more than 9,000 applications for the 2023-2024 school year.

We conducted a public lottery today with the virtual participation of more than 400 potential parents. Our public lottery is run by PowerSchool - an NC DPI-approved student information management system. When the lottery ran, all the applicants were either placed or waitlisted according to priority and space availability. Twins and triplets are always admitted together.

What is next?

•  1) All the winning applicants will be notified via email by the end of Friday (February 17, 2023).
•  2) All the waitlisted applicants will be notified via email by the end of next Tuesday (Friday, 21, 2023).

The winning applicants will have two weeks to accept TMSA’s offer of admission until March 3, 2023. After March 3rd, we will send another email to those who accept the offer, and they will have another two weeks to complete the registration and submit the necessary documents.

If the winning applicants do not notify TMSA about their decision until March 3rd, they will be deemed to have declined admission, and the first applicant on the waitlist will be offered admission.

Please note that TMSA aims to keep families together whenever possible. Thus, we apply sibling priority for the siblings of new students accepted in the lottery or offered a seat later on from the waitlist depending on seat availability. Sibling priority is automatically run by PowerSchool when a new student is offered admission, and it may move waitlisted applicants down on the waitlist.

Thank you so much in advance for your patience and cooperation.

Good luck!
