Our admissions process begins with an admissions tour for parents/guardians (and school district representatives when applicable). Tours last approximately one hour and include admissions information, a student-led tour of the school building, and time for questions and answers. The admissions tour and meeting will last approximately one hour. Please note: these tours are for adults only; do not bring potential students. Students will have an opportunity to visit Bridges later in the application process.
The application process involves several steps, as follows:
Non-disclosure in Admissions
Non-disclosure of information, or untruthful information, related to previous behavior, education, emotional regulation, or substance abuse history in the application process may be grounds for immediate dismissal from Bridges Middle School.
Bridges Middle School admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation or gender identity to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. Bridges Middle School does not discriminate based on national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation or gender identity in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, hiring practices and other school-administered programs.
The application process involves several steps, as follows:
- Parents visit during the school day and meet individually with the Principal. A student-led tour of the school is included.
- Parents submit an online application (available to applicant families after completing the initial admissions meeting with the Principal) and provide other electronic information such as recent report cards, testing, IEP or other evaluations that provide useful information about the student. A $100 application fee is required at this time.
- Our Admissions Committee reviews the application, and the student may then be invited to meet with the committee for a brief visit/assessment (approximately 30 minutes).
- If it is felt that the student matches our school’s profile, the student will be invited for an all-day shadow at Bridges. A final decision regarding acceptance will then be made by the Admissions Committee, and parents will be contacted by March 1, 2020, or as soon as possible.
