Wow! Our first year in school flew by way too quickly! 💙

We've experienced plenty of ups and downs, but through it all, our students have persevered, learned, grown, and flourished more than we could have ever imagined. We are incredibly grateful for the families, staff, and community members who have supported us every step of the way.

As we look ahead to the future as Bridlewood Academy, we are excited to continue growing, learning, and building something special together.

Be sure to follow our page to stay up to date on all things Broncos! 🐴💙💛

🚨 Important Enrollment Update for New HCAK Families! 🚨

We are excited to share a BIG update regarding our student enrollment process at Horse Creek Academy Kershaw!

Up until today, HCAK has used Lotterease to manage our student lottery and enrollment process. Effective immediately, we will now be transitioning to PowerSchool Enrollment! 🎉

This is an exciting step forward for our school because PowerSchool Enrollment will allow our enrollment and registration process to run much more smoothly and efficiently for families. Through this new system, families will now be able to:
✔️ Complete registration forms online
✔️ Upload important student documents directly into the system
✔️ Submit required information more easily
✔️ Streamline communication and records management
✔️ Experience a more user-friendly enrollment process from start to finish

💡 CURRENT LOTTEREASE FAMILIES — PLEASE READ!
If you are currently in our Lotterease enrollment system, whether you have already applied, received a seat offer, or are currently on our waitlist, your application is STILL VALID. Nothing about your student’s placement or waitlist position will change due to this transition.

At this time, you do NOT need to take any additional action. Your information is currently being transferred into PowerSchool Enrollment with the amazing support and assistance of the Erskine Charter Institute. We are incredibly thankful for their partnership during this process!

📧 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
In the coming days, current applicants and families will begin receiving emails containing official registration forms through PowerSchool Enrollment. Once received, families will be able to complete forms and upload all required student documents and information directly into the new system.

📝 INTERESTED IN APPLYING TO HCAK?
Applications, and joining waitlist are still OPEN, and we would love to welcome your family to HCAK! You can begin the application process here:

https://enrollment.powerschool.com/family/gosnap.aspx?action=200006518&culture=en

We are so excited about this transition and all of the ways it will help us better serve our students and families. Thank you for your patience, support, and partnership as we continue growing together! 💙
