Wait for Lottery Results

If there is no waitlist for a specific campus, seats will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis (open enrollment.)
Finally:
Accept Your Brilla Offer
If your child is awarded a seat, confirm that they will be attending and complete their registration or let the school know if you will decline the offer.
