Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• If I want to participate in the English class lottery, do I have to come to the school?
  YES – You must come to the school on Thursday January 16th to submit an entry card.
• Will there be 2 separate lotteries?
  YES – If you come in the morning of Jan 16th (to St. Tarcisius), your name will be part of the lottery for MORNING classes.  If you come in the evening of Jan 16th (to Fuller School), your name will be part of the lottery for EVENING classes.
• On January 16th do I need to arrive at the school before 6:30PM (or before 8:45 AM for morning classes)?
  NO – You can come any time between 6:30 and 8:00PM (or between 8:45 and 10:00AM for morning classes).  ALL the names collected during that time will have an equal chance in the lottery.
• If my name is selected in the lottery, what happens next?
  Someone from school will contact you, and you will be asked to come to the school for testing.  After testing, you will be assigned to one of these:
  • a regular English class (6 hours each week)
  • or – a volunteer-led, once-a-week prep class (2 hours)
    If you stay in prep class with good attendance, you will automatically be on a priority list for a regular class and will not need to participate in any more lotteries.
  • or – a waiting list
    (You get a space in class as soon as possible and do not need to participate in more lotteries)
• When are the classes?
  • Regular morning classes are on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings from 8:45 to 10:45
  • Regular evening classes are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30
  • Prep classes are on one of those mornings, or evenings, each week
  • Regular classes start on Tuesday February 4th and Prep classes start a few weeks later
• I can’t come on January 16th.  Can I come on the 15th (or some other day)? Or can someone else come to submit an entry card for me?
  NO – Unfortunately, the only day you can come to submit your name for the lottery is on January 16th, and you must come in-person.
