Please Note:  For the 2021-2022 school year, Caprock Academy intends to offer both full-time Kindergarten and a morning, half-time Kindergarten option.  Half-time Kindergarten will be contingent upon a minimum of eight students registering for it by Thursday, February 25, 2021 at 1:30 p.m.  If the minimum number of requests for half-time Kindergarten are not received, Caprock would then offer full-time Kindergarten only. Families that chose half-time would be contacted before the lottery to ask if they would like to consider full-time Kindergarten instead. 

When turning in your completed Intent to Enroll Form, please be aware that your wait time may be longer than expected, depending upon how many people are waiting. Our process has changed slightly due to COVID-19. You will need to check-in at the front office, be screened, and then will be asked to wait in your vehicle until your number is next, and we will come out to your vehicle to get you.

Next is the Lottery: Parents do not need to attend. It was held March 2nd via Zoom.  The Registrar will begin calling the families to offer Kindergarten positions beginning the afternoon of Wednesday, March 3, 2021. If a position has been offered, you have 24 hours to accept the position via telephone at 970-243-1771, ext. 1132. You may leave a message after regular office hours.
 
Once you have accepted a position, you have 3 business days to schedule an in-person meeting with the Registrar to turn in your child’s completed Enrollment Packet.
