Harpswell Coastal Academy, a new public charter school, will offer its final parent and student informational session today at 7 p.m. at Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant St.

The academy is a new public school, open to any Maine student, that plans to open in September with 30 sixthgraders and 30 ninth-graders. Parents must submit an online “declaration of intent to enroll” form by 5 p.m. Thursday, March 28. Print versions of the form will be available at the session.

Of 60 available slots, John D’Anieri, head of school, said the academy has about 56 enrollments. He said he expects five to 15 more by the deadline. If there are more students seek admission than available slots, the school would conduct a lottery at 3 p.m. Friday, March 29 at the Cundy’s Harbor Community Center.
