The district (Sterling Montessori Academy and Charter School) acknowledges the electronic signature typed below like a signature on a paper form.

I verify the above information to be correct, and I understand that completion of this form does not guarantee placement for my child at Sterling Montessori Academy & Charter School. I further understand that I cannot register my child without appropriate residence documentation and that only one application can be submitted per child. Any misrepresentations may result in this application being eliminated and/or the applicant’s dismissal from school. I further understand that it is my responsibility as the Parent or Legal Guardian to immediately inform the district of any changes to the application or contact information provided.

Furthermore, from March 7, 2025 through July 21, 2025, I understand that I will have 7 days to communicate the decision to either accept or decline Sterling’s offer of enrollment. If Sterling Montessori does not receive a written response to the offer of enrollment by the close of business (4:00 PM) after 7 days, the lack of response will be considered an effective "decline" of the offer. My child's name will be placed at the end of the waitlist for their grade level. Thirty (30) days prior to the first day of school (July 22, 2025), I will have 3 days to reply to an offer. Also, beginning one week prior to the first day of school (August 14, 2025) and through the thirty fifth (35th) academic day, I understand that I will have 24 hours to accept or decline Sterling Montessori’s offer of enrollment.

A copy of the student's birth certificate and proof of residence is required with acceptance. Applications received after the lottery application deadline will be placed at the bottom of the waitlist. Sterling Montessori Academy and Charter School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, family structure, disability, military status or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its policies and programs.
