How does the lottery system work?
The Cache County School District uses a standardized, lottery-based system to select students for the Dual Language Immersion Program. This process is designed to be fair and transparent for all applicants.
Application and Initial Selection
-
Application Submission: Parents must submit their child's application by the published deadline.
-
Verification and Lottery: All applications are verified for eligibility. Students are then assigned a random, computer-generated lottery number. This number determines their selection and placement order.
Placement Preference Order
Applicants are placed into the program based on their lottery number, following a specific preference order to fill the available seats:
-
Native Target Language Speakers: Applicants whose first language is the target language (e.g., Spanish for a Spanish Immersion class) and who have no English proficiency are given the highest priority.
-
Siblings: Applicants who have a sibling already enrolled in the Dual Language Immersion program receive the next priority.
-
In-District Residents: Applicants who live within the Cache County School District boundaries are considered next.
-
Out-of-District Residents: Applicants who reside outside the district boundaries are considered last.
Notification and Wait List
-
Rosters and Communication: Once the classes are full, the official class rosters are finalized. The results are then communicated to the parents/guardians and school principals.
-
Wait List: Applicants who were not selected are placed on a wait list according to their original, random lottery number. This wait list is only active for the designated school year.
-
Late Applications: Any applications received after the deadline are placed at the very end of the wait list in the order they were received.
Utah's Seal of Biliteracy
The Seal of Biliteracy is an award given by a school, district, or state in recognition of students who have studied and attained proficiency in English and one or more world languages* by high school graduation. The Seal encourages students to pursue biliteracy, honors the skills our students attain, and can be evidence of skills that are attractive to future employers and college admissions offices.
