Enrollment (Wait List)

Traut Core Knowledge School (TCKS) is a public school of choice within the Poudre School District (PSD). As a school of choice, enrollment procedures differ from those for neighborhood schools. TCKS only accepts students for enrollment from a waiting list. The process for having a student added to the waiting list is determined by the District JFBA Choice/Open Enrollment Policy.

Application to the Waiting List

In order to ensure that those who are on our waiting list are well informed and able to make a decision when offered a position, we strongly encourage each family to attend a Parent Orientation meeting. To be properly informed, it is very important for parents to attend an orientation session.  Orientation sessions are held throughout the school year in the Media Center at the school.  Please check the TCKS school calendar or contact the school office 970-488-7507 for more information about orientation sessions.

In addition, families should carefully review our school covenant and charter.  Once families have established that they believe our values, our vision, mission, philosophy, and program are right for them, they may place their children on our waiting list. The School Choice Application is on the PSD webpage.

All Day Kindergarten Information

Traut is pleased to offer full-day Kindergarten.  

Online Application Process for the Waiting List
1.  To be properly informed, it is very important for parents to attend an orientation session.  Orientation sessions are held each month (you can find the dates on the Traut Calendar under "Traut 101- General Orientation).  Please check the calendar or contact Belinda at 970-488-7507 for more information about orientation sessions.

2.   If you have never signed up for a waiting list for a PSD school, complete the online School Choice application through the Poudre School District web site under “School Registration.”  This may be accessed from a home computer or any computer with Internet access.  A public use computer is available at the PSD Support Services Center, 2407 LaPorte Ave., or any of the District’s schools.  For specific details on School Choice refer to Poudre School District School choice Policy JFBA.
