General open enrollment is closed for the 2025-2026 school year. Applications can be submitted should potential vacancies become available.
Limited non-resident enrollment options 2026-27
At its November 13th meeting, the School Board passed a resolution opening enrollment to non-residents on a limited basis in grades K-5 for the 2026-27 school year.
Background
Each year, in compliance with state statute, the District reviews student enrollment along with building capacity and decides whether it has the ability to open to nonresident enrollment or if it must continue to limit enrollment to families living outside the district boundaries. This year, the District will have limited capacity in the kindergarten centers and/or elementary schools to offer enrollment to non-resident students at specific grade levels for the 2026-27 school year.
How to Apply
Applications received by January 15, 2026, will receive priority consideration. However The District will continue to accept applications made after January 15 on a continual basis. Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis until all available spots are filled. Only the student's legal parent or guardian may apply on their behalf. An application does not guarantee admission in the school requested or in any District school. Families who applied before January 15 will be notified by February 15 if their application has been approved. Families offered open enrollment spots must accept or decline the spot within 10 business days. Students who are offered open enrollment will be assigned to a school based on space/capacity.
