Qualifications:
SAS Applicants Currently Attending an LAUSD School
In January 2023, the District will conduct an online verification of eligibility process for current on-time District applicants to SAS, including students enrolled in the City of Angels Virtual Academy. A Verification of Eligibility form is not required for students currently enrolled in a District site. Principals will receive an online list of SAS applicants who do not meet gifted identification or test score criteria (if applicable). Principals will work with the GATE coordinator and teachers to verify these applicants based on the four critical thinking and problem-solving skills criteria. Parents/guardians are encouraged to speak to school staff regarding eligibility criteria before submitting an application. Late online verification for the on-time application period will not be accepted; the recommendation submitted by the administrator is final. For the late application period, verification for District applicants will occur if/when a late/waitlist seat is offered. This verification process is conducted between the SAS site and the current District school of attendance.
 
SAS Applicants NOT Currently Attending an LAUSD School

Verification of Eligibility form is required for students currently enrolled in a private school, independent charter or non-District school, including incoming kindergarten students enrolled in a non-District preschool or Transitional Kindergarten (TK). Two versions of the form are available based on grade level, SAS Kindergarten and Grades 1-12. Forms are available for download at https://eChoices.LAUSD.net or printed from the Choices "Print Confirmation" application receipt. For the on-time process, the parent/guardian must submit the Verification of Eligibility form as well as complete the Choices application by November 18, 2022. Please refer to https://eChoices.LAUSD.net (click "Who is eligible?) or the Choices brochure for detailed directions about submitting the form, if applicable. Late forms will not be accepted for the on-time application period; the recommendation submitted by the administrator is final. For the late application period, verification for non-District applicants will occur if/when a late/waitlist seat is offered. This verification process will require that the non-District school submit the Verification of Eligibility form directly to the SAS site. (DO NOT send the Verification of Eligibility form for late applicants to Unified Enrollment.)
