- The selections will be recorded in the order in which they are pulled out of the container and displayed via an overhead projector or on a display board.
- After each number is read, confirmation of whether the selected student has a sibling will be noted.
- Numbers will be drawn until they have been exhausted and placed on the waiting list, if applicable, in the order in which they were drawn.
- There will be a separate lottery conducted for each grade. The selection process will be conducted one grade level at a time.
