Lottery

Applications received between July 1^st and the last day before February vacation are processed through the March lottery. Applications received after the February deadline and before June 30^th are processed through the July lottery.

Each application is assigned an ID number to maintain anonymity in the lottery process. Lottery applications are categorized into three groups (1) sibling; (2) in-district; and (3) out-of-district.

Applications are drawn at each grade level in the following order: Sibling applications have priority and are processed first. In-district applications are processed second and out-of-district applications are processed third.

Results are documented electronically, manually and through the tracking of the drawn cards and are verified within 24 hours of the lottery. After results have been cross referenced and verified, they are officially posted to the school website.  Lottery Event Frequently Asked Questions answered here.

Waitlist

Reflecting the lottery process, the waitlist is prioritized by (1) sibling preference, (2) in- district applicants and (3) out-of-district applicants.

An applicant only needs to apply once to be processed through a lottery and be placed on the waitlist.

Each grade level waitlist advances from year to year.

Each waitlist family should contact outreach@foxboroughrcs.org immediately to update any changes in contact information including phone, email and mailing address.
