We grant students the right to choose clothing that is comfortable to them, affordable, reflects their personal style and identity provided what they wear supports their learning and engagement in school. We limit this right only when a student’s clothing creates issues of safety for the school or harms the learning environment.
What grades does TECH Freire serve?
TECH Freire serves grades 9 through 12.
How do I enroll my student at TECH Freire?
Applications are accepted online via PowerSchool Enrollment. Click here to make an account and apply now! An email address is required to submit an online application. If you do not have an email address, you can request a paper application, in-person, at either TECH Freire campus.
How do I know my application has been received?
After we receive your application, you will receive a confirmation email from PowerSchool Enrollment. All applicants will receive additional email communications before the lottery.
Can I still apply after the lottery deadline?
Yes, you can still apply! However, your student will be added to the end of our waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis.
When will I hear if my child has been accepted to TECH Freire?
After the lottery, all applicants will receive an email letting them know if they were selected in the lottery or placed on the waitlist.
What happens after the lottery?
If your applicant was not selected, you can view their current position on the waitlist by logging into your PowerSchool Enrollment account.
If your applicant was selected, you will receive an email to complete your applicant’s enrollment packet. You can access the enrollment packet through the link sent to you via email or by logging into your PowerSchool Enrollment account.
Does TECH Freire offer enrollment preference for siblings of current TECH Freire students?
Yes. Siblings of current TECH Freire students will receive preference in TECH Freire’s admissions process if they apply before the lottery deadline. To be eligible for the sibling preference, an applicant must be related to a current TECH Freire student in one of the following ways:
- The two students have a shared legal guardian, or there is shared legal custody of both students by a common individual; or
- The students are half siblings, step siblings, or biological siblings.
Residing at the same address as a current student, without also being related to a current student in one of the two ways listed above, does not make an applicant eligible for the sibling preference.
