2025 – 2026 School Year

Enrollment Reminders:

Tapestry serves students in grades 6 – 12.
Tapestry is a public charter school authorized by the DeKalb County School District (DCSD). Any student residing in the DeKalb County School District in grades 6 – 12 is eligible to attend, subject to lottery and seat availability. Please note that parts of Atlanta and Decatur are also in DeKalb County, but they are zoned for Atlanta Public Schools and City of Decatur Schools, respectively. For your child to attend Tapestry, you must provide proof that you live in the DeKalb County School District.
Current Tapestry students do NOT need to reapply through the DCSD registration website.
All newly accepted students who are new to DCSD or who have not attended a DCSD school in the past year must complete enrollment through DCSD at https://www.dekalbschoolsga.org/online-registration/. This includes siblings of current students and children of full-time employees or board members.
New DCSD Students who applied and were waitlisted must complete registration through DCSD at https://www.dekalbschoolsga.org/online-registration/ if accepted for granted enrollment at Tapestry.

Transfers/Withdrawals

Please follow the steps listed below to withdraw your student from Tapestry Public Charter School for the current school year.

Step 1: Email Tapestry’s registrar, amia.west@tapestrycharter.org that you intend to withdraw your student. Attach a photo ID for verification of student parent/guardianship.

Step 2: Fill out the electronic withdrawal form: https://forms.gle/PPokNBzftaq9nobZ8

Step 3: Return Chromebook and any other school property to Tapestry (call or email to ensure someone will be available to receive the Chromebook)

Step 4: You will receive a confirmation email with a withdrawal packet to bring to the new school for enrollment.

Please have your student’s new school submit an official records request to Tapestry. If you are planning to homeschool, you must declare with the GADOE. Please email a copy of the declaration to the registrar.

Returning Students

To ensure our records are up to date, returning Tapestry families are required to submit an updated proof of residency or affidavit at the beginning of each school year. Acceptable proofs include a current utility bill (gas, electric, or water) or a signed lease of residence that is dated with the current year. Proofs must show the parent/guardian’s name.

Please send one proof of residency to the registrar, as well as any information updates throughout the school year (address, phone number, email address, etc.).

Thank you for your interest in Tapestry!

How do I apply for admission for my child?

Open Enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year runs Monday, December 6, 2021 – Friday, February 17, 2022 at 4:00 pm.

If my child is currently attending Tapestry, must I put him/her in the lottery again for next year?

No, your child will be guaranteed a seat next year. However, you must sign a Letter of Intent to Re-enroll Form that will be sent home in early January and must be returned no later than Friday, February 4, 2022. You will forfeit your child’s spot if the form is not returned by the deadline.

When will the lottery for 2022 – 2023 admission be held?

February 25, 2022 at 9:00 am

Families are invited but not required to attend the lottery. Families will be notified via email of their child’s placement and the lottery results will also be published on the website.

Does Tapestry have any enrollment priorities?

Charter law prohibits the school from prescribing a ratio of students, such as having separate lotteries for special needs students and typically developing students. Therefore, all students are selected in the same open lottery.

Our charter does allow for priority enrollment to be given to children of full time employees or board members and to siblings of currently enrolled students. The sibling policy is in place in order to support families and afford them the convenience of sending their children to the same school. If a student is selected to attend Tapestry either in the lottery or from the waitlist, his/her sibling(s) will also be offered a seat. In no case will a seat be given to a sibling who is lower on the waitlist instead of the student who is originally selected.

If I want my child to attend Tapestry, do I also need to enroll him/her through the DeKalb County School Choice Open Enrollment?

No. Tapestry does not participate in the School Choice Lottery. In order to apply to Tapestry, parents will only need to fill out our online application: https://tinyurl.com/2021TapestryEnrollment
