One application must be filled out for each child who wishes to attend the Southwest Leadership Academy Charter School.

• Only one application will be accepted per child.
• Application must be mailed, emailed or delivered in person to: Southwest Leadership Academy Charter School,
  7101 Paschall Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa. 19142
• Applications must be received by March 12, 2021 to be entered into the lottery.
• Siblings of enrolled students will not be automatically enrolled without an application; an application must be submitted for each sibling before the lottery deadline.
• For the purposes of the lottery, two students are siblings if and only if one student has a legal parent, legal guardian, or legal foster parent who is also the legal parent, legal guardian, or legal foster parent of other student.
  An adult will only be considered a student’s legal parent if there is proof of blood-relation (as evidenced in birth certificate), legal adoption (as evidenced by valid, appropriate court documents), or legal marriage (i.e. step-child, as evidenced by a valid marriage certificate). An adult will be considered a student’s legal guardian or legal foster parent only if there is proof of such a relationship (as evidenced by valid, appropriate court documents).
• If information on the application is incorrect, the application will be considered invalid, and any offer made for a place in the school based on this information will be rescinded.
  For example, if the application indicates that the child is 5 years old by September 1, 2021 but in reality the child is not, the offer will be rescinded. Likewise, if the application indicates that the child will be entering a given grade in September 2021 but the child is actually entering a different grade – for any reason – the offer will be rescinded and the child will have to reapply for the grade in which they are entering. Placement will depend on seat availability if student is retained for any reason.
• If the student’s parent/legal guardian’s address or phone numbers change, you must notify the school so that we may contact you in the event that the student is offered placement at the school.
