​

• Click here for step by step instructions on how to use the tool.

​

• First round open enrollment is not first-come, first-served; you have until December 3rd at 4:00 pm to complete this process.

​

• You may request that a confirmation email be sent to you after your request has been submitted.

​

• Parents wishing to enroll their three and four-year-olds in district preschools do not go through open enrollment. Preschool registration will take place in early January. Follow this link for more information.

​

• You can change your open enrollment request choices at any time until December 3rd at 4:00 pm.

​

• You can choose to have your choices emailed to you after you have completed open enrollment.

​

• Schools will offer you an open enrollment slot, based on space availability. You can log back into the EngagED Parent Portal on December 10th to check for any offers you may have received.

​

• You have until December 17 at 4:00pm to accept an open enrollment offer from a school through the EngagED Parent Portal.

​

• If your open enrollment request is not accepted by any school, or you didn't log in and accept your offer, you will automatically be placed on the second round open enrollment wait-list, which runs from January 22nd to August 1st.

​

• Second round open enrollment is "first come first served." Students requesting open enrollment only in the second round are placed on the wait-list behind those that are currently on the wait-list from first round. Schools will ONLY reach out to you when and if a spot becomes available.

​

• If you are open enrolled at a neighborhood school or attend a charter but would like to return to the neighborhood school associated with your address for the next school year you must file an intent to return form by January 7, 2019.

​

• If you are moving within the district but would like to remain at your current school, you may do so by filing an intent to remain form at any time.

​

• Transportation for resident students granted permission to attend a school or program outside their neighborhood attendance area shall be furnished by their parent/guardian.  However, students who wish to catch a bus from a stop that transports to the school to which they have open enrolled, may, on a space available basis, purchase a Z-pass to ride that bus to their newly assigned school.
