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.

Timeline

The Choice Enrollment Application for the 2026 - 2027 school year opened October 1, 2025. Families must submit applications by January 15, 2026 for consideration for enrollment during the 2025 - 2026 school year. Applications received after January 15 will be put on a waitlist.

  • October 1, 2025 – Application window opens.
  • February 15, 2026 – Families will be notified of the status of their open enrollment request.
    • Students not approved at this time will be placed on a waitlist.
  • After February 15, 2026 – Students who were not accepted initially, or those who submitted a late application, will remain on the waitlist and be considered if space becomes available.
  • By October 1, 2026 – Families will be notified if their child has been approved from the waitlist.

Questions regarding your open enrollment request can be directed to the school where your student is intending to enroll.

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, JFBB, JFBB-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 Choice Enrollment may be rescinded annually if the school's growth in enrollment results in inadequate space, resources, or undesirable conditions develop.
