    Step 4: Enrollment

    In order to finalize the registration process, school staff will review your submission and contact you with the next steps.  Please wait for information regarding the completion of the enrollment process.  The expected response time is within 2 weeks.

    Step 5:  School Assignment

    For the 2021-2022 school year, Olive Chapel Elementary is fully capped and there is a waitlist for all grade levels.  Your student will be assigned to a WCPSS overflow school and he/she will reamin on the OCE wait-list unitl a space becomes available.

    Overflow: Turner Creek ES:  If the base Middle School listed is Lufkin Road Middle, your overflow school will be Turner Creek Elementary.

    Overflow: Salem ES:  If the base Middle School listed is Apex Friendship Middle, your overflow school will be Salem Elementary. 

    Step 6: Final Paperwork → Submit proof of immunizations and NC Health Assessment

    State law requires that every child entering public schools in N.C. for the first time receive a health assessment. The assessment must occur within 12 months prior to entering school. 

    You or your medical provider must provide a completed NC Health Assessment Form to the school on or before the child's first day of attendance. NC Health Assessment Forms are available at Wake County schools, area doctors' offices or at the Wake County Health Department.

    State law requires these vaccinations before a student enters Kindergarten and 7th grade.
