Dear Sponsors and Parents of Korea District Students: The increase in the number of military families arriving in Korea brings an increase in the number of Category 1 (military and civilian employees on PCS orders with command-sponsored dependents) enrollments. It is essential for all sponsors and parents to understand the enrollment process to ensure a smooth transition into this school year. For each grade, we will continue to follow and implement the student enrollment priority list that follows:
1. Category I - Students whose sponsors are: Military and Civilian Employees on PCS Orders; DoD Locally-Hired U.S. Citizen Full-Time Employees; and DoD contractors. These students will be enrolled and guaranteed a classroom seat. 2. Category 2- Students whose sponsors are employed by other Federal agencies. These students will be wait-listed and will be the first to be offered classroom seats. First priority will be given to returning students. 3. Category 3 - Students whose sponsors are military and other special categories that are not on PCS orders and command-sponsored. These students will be wait-listed. Priority for these students will be given to returning students of military and civilian sponsors assigned to the commuting area based on their initial enrollment date; new military dependents; and new civilian dependents. 路 4. Category 4 - Students whose sponsors are other U.S. citizens or Foreign Nationals will not be enrolled. We will offer a timed, phased enroll~ent process for Category 2 and 3 students: 1. Monday, August 26 - Friday, August 30, 2013 Category 2: a. Students on the wait-list will be enrolled in grades where space is available. This will be determined by the capacity of each grade level. b. A few spaces will be maintained for late enrollment of Category 1 students. c.
