2. Application (contd.)
If testing or other materials are pending, please indicate on the application when you expect results will be available. We can provide referrals for testing and evaluation professionals upon request. We can only review an application once all materials and forms have been submitted.
We will begin reviewing individual applications as soon as all elements of the application package are received. For best consideration, please submit application packages by February 15. We will continue to review applications received after this date, either for remaining spaces or for placement on the waiting list.
3. Student visit (2 days)
After reviewing the completed application, we will contact you to schedule a student visit if we believe your child can be well served by our program. During this two-day visit, the applicant will participate with other students in a classroom setting during normal school hours. Additional information will be provided when the visit is scheduled.
4. Parent interview (optional)
In certain circumstances, we may request that the parents visit with Siena staff to discuss the child's application, testing and learning needs in more detail.
5. Decision notification
We seek to provide notification of student visits, admissions and financial aid decisions on a timely basis once a completed application, including all supporting materials, has been received.
