You will have to fill out your family information and then add your children.

John Hancock Charter School enrolls up to 190 students. If enrollment exceeds capacity during the open enrollment period, then the classes that exceed capacity will go to a lottery as required by the law.
After the open enrollment period has ended you will be notified if your child(ren) may be enrolled. You will then be given time to complete the enrollment process by registering your child(ren).
If you fail to register your child(ren) during the time allotted you will forfeit their positions in the school.
While you may fill out an intent to enroll form for more than one school, we do require that you only be registered at one school at a time.
JHCS will use the charter school standard application form as prescribed by the State Board of Education. All intent – to – enroll forms and applications must be submitted via JHCS’s website or hardcopy to the school beginning October 1 of each year until the third Friday in February.
Parents will be notified of the open enrollment dates via at least one announcement in each of the following: newspaper, JHCS website, community billboard, and JHCS marquee. The newspaper, website, and community center announcements will be printed in both English and Spanish.
Parents of enrolled students must notify JHCS of their intentions to continue or terminate enrollment for the following year in writing by the third Friday in February.
The computer-generated random lottery will be held on the second Thursday of March or at the scheduled March board meeting. All parents will be notified of their child’s acceptance or position on the lottery by March 31 via email, a phone call, or a letter sent by the U.S.P.S. JHCS must receive written acceptance of the offer by the student’s parent or legal guardian by the second Friday in April. Failure to provide written acceptance by this time will constitute a rejection of the position. JHCS will notify the student’s current school when enrollment has been completed at JHCS no later than the second Friday in May. Parents must complete all necessary forms and provide the necessary documents to enroll a child at JHCS; this process must be completed within five working days after accepting a position at JHCS.
If a vacancy occurs because a student has withdrawn from JHCS, JHCS may immediately enroll a new student from the school’s waiting list of applicants. Students who fail to attend the first five days of school will be dropped from the school roster and will be notified in writing.

Testimonials
We were first exposed to John Handcock Charter School when we moved here 6 years ago my Stepmother in law, she raved about this school as her children had gone here. We applied and were fortunate enough to get into our first year. We have been so impressed since that point. JHCS thinks of kids first. They pay attention to what each individual student needs. They pay attention to their academic needs and use math coursework that better prepares students for higher education. They use music, and art to produce a better well-rounded student. It has been proven time and time again that having music and art is just as important as other education. When the pandemic hit we were blown away by the method in which they handled themselves. Each student had completed assignments and daily teaching by the teachers not just handed a chrome book and said good luck. JHCS focuses on getting and maintaining phenomenal teachers. From Kindergarten on every teacher we have had is amazing. JHCS keeps recess this is so big in a world where kids need movement along with education they do not sacrifice exercise instead they incorporate it and use it. They work to teach students in a way that makes them excited to go to school. The teachers are frequently communicating what is going on with my individual students, and what is going on in the school overall. My older children that have graduated from JHCS have lifelong friendships that have continued despite going to a different school because JHCS encourages kindness. They also focus on mental health to help students progress and move forward. They are truly learning lifelong healthy skills.
I have had kids at John Hancock Charter School for 12 years now, and I have been consistently impressed with the high levels of caring and dedication from everyone there. The teachers truly care about the kids in their classes and ensuring their success. The small size creates a real feeling of family at the school, and my kids feel like they know their teachers before they even step into their classrooms.
The curriculum at John Hancock goes well beyond reading and math. My kids are conversant with ancient and modern history, principles of science, art history, and even music.
John Hancock is a school that has high expectations for kids, and then gives them the tools to meet those expectations.
John Hancock Charter School has been the best school for my kids! This is the eighth year I've been at JHCS and I can say that no other elementary school- charter or not- can provide a better experience, a better team of teachers and staff members, a better curriculum for their students, or a better environment to learn in. Those who are lucky enough to get into John Hancock Charter School feel as if they are part of one big family. The director and Principal of the school- for fifteen years now- has done an outstanding job making John Hancock Charter School one of the best schools in all of Utah!
I love John Hancock Charter School. They have amazing teachers and staff, small class sizes, and really inspire a love for learning. While not the most aesthetically pleasing campus, they use all resources and money to go directly back to help the students which is obviously most important.
Joining JHCS has been one of the best decisions my husband and I have made for our children. They are receiving a top notch education and are growing and flourishing in their schoolwork. What doesn’t show up in their test scores are the extras that make JHCS stellar. The emphasis on a growth mindset and the encouragement to learn beyond the classroom will help them throughout their entire lives.
