What is Choice / Open Enrollment?

If you're a family who does not live within our district boundaries (out-of-district Open 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.

Policies

The Choice / Open 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) if space / resources allow.

When moving to the middle school or high school levels, families need to reapply for Choice / Open Enrollment. Choice / Open Enrollment may be rescinded annually if the school's growth in enrollment results in inadequate space, resources, or undesirable conditions develop.
