The Enrollment Process

How does the registration process work?

If you’re ready to save your child’s spot at Glacier Way, follow this link to submit a registration form and deposit through a secure third-party platform, Jovial. Here’s how the process works and what to expect.

• Submit registration online through Jovial: you’ll provide basic information about you and your child, and pay the application fee and the $125 registration fee online (see “How to send money to Glacier Way”).

• Await follow-up email: after submitting your registration, a Glacier Way member will follow up via email to confirm receipt and officially enroll your child in the upcoming semester. This follow-up email will include instructions for several next steps:

  • adding you to the class email list so you can receive updates and send messages to other families

  • signing up for classroom assist days

  • moving forward with the fingerprinting/background check process

• After receiving this follow-up email, you’ll be able to log back into the Glacier Way family portal on Jovial using the email address you provided in your registration. There you’ll see several important forms that need to be completed and uploaded to Jovial before your child attends class.

What am I committing to as a parent/caregiver?

At least one parent/caregiver from each family must commit to helping in the classroom several times per month, as well as owning a small role to keep the school running smoothly.

Many of the parents and caregivers who help in the classroom have flexible weekday schedules (e.g. stay-at-home parent, flexible work-from-home hours, retired grandparent). Sometimes, parents with weekday jobs will get creative (e.g. use paid time off, or work an evening/night shift) so they can be present in the classroom on specific dates.

You’ll have the ability to request the specific dates you wish to assist in the classroom at the start of each semester so that you can plan your availability. Families use our email list to ask for switches or subs in case of unforeseen conflict or illness. Learn more on our parents’ experience page.
