How do you know what your number is for the charter lottery?

Anonymous
I applied online to a bunch of charter schools and received confirmation emails from most of them (and have checked in with the ones I didn't get an email from to make sure they had the application) but none of them gave any info about how we identify our kid on the waitlist. On lottery day, how do we know what our ID # is? Is it the same for all the schools? Do they send it in advance? I'd appreciate info from lottery veterans.
Thanks!

Charters actually post last names of the DC.

Interesting! Thanks for the info.

Some post last names, but many (most?) post first name, last initial. And some just post by number. Depends.

Does each charter school have their own lottery drawing date? I'm trying to figure out when Stokes' lottery is, but can't find it on their website.

There's a common date for most charters this year, but Stokes isn't one of the participating schools.
