Elementary open enrollment window closes June 10
The "open enrollment" application window for elementary school students will close this Friday, June 10. For all students in grades K-5 already attending a school through an open enrollment approved last year, you must complete and submit an online application to have your student continue to attend their school of choice next year. Continued attendance will depend on availability of space.
VISIT THIS PAGE for the application form for transfer requests. Applications will be reviewed in late August and families will be notified of their application status prior to the start of school in September.
Under Board policy, the district guarantees a spot for all students in their zoned school. Our community is growing and there is limited space in our schools. Therefore, not all open enrollment applications can be approved. Decisions on all applications will follow the priorities outlined in Board Policy 3010.

The Board of Trustees will meet Monday, July 11, at 5 PM at the Midtown Meeting Center, 1505 N. 5th Street. This is the Board's regular monthly meeting.
