Do I need to reapply for open enrollment each school year?
- If your child will continue at the same school, you do not need to reapply for open enrollment each school year.
- All incoming sixth graders living outside a middle school’s boundaries must reapply for open enrollment, regardless of their open enrollment status at their elementary school.
The school year has begun and we have moved outside of the school’s attendance boundaries. Do I need to apply for open enrollment this school year?
If a student moves out of their school’s attendance boundary during the school year, he/she may continue attending that school for the remainder of the school year. However, you must apply for open enrollment for the upcoming school year.
Where can I find the district’s complete open enrollment policy?
