New Student Enrollment
New student enrollment will be offered during designated priority enrollment windows that close on the first of the month starting in March. During these windows, priority will be given to students who have a sibling currently attending their elementary home school.
Enrollment requests submitted during each priority window will be reviewed based on available space. Classroom configurations are driven by student enrollment, so we encourage you to register early. Submission of a registration does not guarantee placement at your neighborhood school unless your child is in middle school.
