Students are referred for admission to the Depot Campus from a variety of sources including parents, teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors. Any student recommended for the program must submit a completed application with his or her parent/guardian and participate in the admission process. 

A student who is being considered for acceptance must demonstrate a strong interest in the program and meet all of the following admission criteria:

1. Applicant and his/her parent/guardian have met with Depot staff, visited the program and have expressed a full understanding of the program and educational expectations.
2. The student applicant has demonstrated an inability to be successful in a “traditional” middle school or high school program.
3. The applicant has the interpersonal skills necessary to be successful as a member of the student body and a participant in the school’s “Learning through Internship’s” (LTI) program.
4. Students with a recent history of significant anti-social or violent behavior will not be considered for admission.

After the referral is filed, Depot Campus personnel will interview the student applicant and their parent/guardian.  Depot Campus staff will also review student records.  The Depot School Director will make a recommendation regarding admission to the program to the Regional School District #19 Superintendent.
