Families who want to enroll their child in PreK-8th grade at Lincoln Academy rather than their neighborhood school must complete the Jeffco Choice Enrollment Process. Round 1 Enrollment is open December 5-January 12. Round 2 Enrollment opens on January 18 and stays open through August. Around January 23, Round 1 lottery offers will be sent to families. Families have three days to accept or decline an offer. If they accept an offer, they will be taken off their neighborhood or previous Jeffco school enrollment. Families will be given an option to remain on the waitlist for their other choice options, or get off other waitlists if they are satisfied with their first offer.

Special Education Services for Special Populations
Lincoln Academy does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, ancestry, - need for special education services, or any other grounds prohibited by law.
Lincoln Academy serves students with disabilities and English Learners and provides services to students as required by state and federal law. See this website for more information Special Education Rules and Regulations.
In most cases, the services required by a student with disabilities can be provided at Lincoln Academy. In some cases, a student’s individual needs require that they be placed in a different program or location as determined by an IEP or Section 504 team. Applicants to Lincoln Academy are not required to identify whether the applicant has an IEP, and admission to the school is made without considering a student’s disability.
