What is Choice Enrollment?
If you're a family who does not live within our district boundaries (out-of-district Choice Enrollment) or are looking to enroll a student at a school other than your assigned neighborhood school (in-district Choice Enrollment), you're in the right spot. If you're looking to apply for preschool, please visit our Preschool page.

Policies
The Choice Enrollment process is through application only. Submission of the application does not guarantee enrollment. Applications will be evaluated according to Board of Education Policy (JFBA, JFBA-R) if space / resources allow.
When moving to the middle school or high school levels, families need to reapply for Choice Enrollment. Choice Enrollment may be rescinded annually if the school's growth in enrollment results in inadequate space, resources, or undesirable conditions develop.
