Open Enrollment for the 2025-26 School Year Starts December 9th
Open enrollment starts Monday, December 9, 2024, at 8:00 AM and ends on Friday, January 24, 2025, at 5:00 PM. During this time, you can apply for your child to attend a school other than your neighborhood school. There must be space available, and you must provide transportation for your child.
Starting November 23, log in to Parent Portal to see your child’s assigned school for the 2025-26 school year. This will help you decide if you want to participate in open enrollment. If you are happy with your child’s assigned school, no further action is needed.
If you would like to apply for a different school, you can complete the open enrollment lottery application starting December 9. Open enrollment applications are part of a lottery system (not first-come, first-served), so you can apply anytime during the enrollment period.
