New Sibling Preference Applications Process
Prince George's County Public Schools give lottery preference to new students who already have a sibling in the school. Siblings must live in the same household, have the same responsible parent/guardian, and both siblings must be enrolled at the charter school for the 2017-18 school year. Families must submit a valid lottery application by the deadline to be eligible for sibling preference.
New this year all applications for sibling preference will be accepted during the public charter school open enrollment season from November 1, 2016 through January 27, 2017. This new process allows PGCPS to streamline data entry and accurately capture family information that links families and especially siblings.
To submit a sibling preference application, please logon at http://lottery.pgcps.org/ to submit your application for sibling preference. Sibling preference is based on seat availability and never a guarantee. If there is more sibling preference request than seats available, a sibling lottery will be held to determine placement.

- Take your child's original birth certificate and your proof of Prince George's County resident (you may use one of the following deed, settlement papers, lease, or rental agreement) if you have residence other than the aforementioned please call the Pupil Accounting School Boundaries Office at 301.952.6300.
- Maryland State Law requires that a child be 5 years of age on or before September 1 to enter Kindergarten. We must abide by this law; therefore, if your child will be 5 years of age AFTER September 1 you cannot apply for lottery placement to a Charter School for Kindergarten.
