IMPORTANT - THE CUSTODIAL PARENT/GUARDIAN MUST READ AND ACCEPT BEFORE SUBMITTING APPLICATION:
I am the custodial parent/guardian and I have read and understand the program policies (link below). I understand that Choice student selection is an unbiased, computer generated ranking process for applications received during the priority application period September 23rd through November 4th, 2024, and that enrollment will be offered on a space-available basis. I understand that space is limited in separate setting programs (ESN) and resident pupils have priority, so enrollment is not guaranteed in the school of Choice. If there is space available, a Choice pupil will be offered enrollment. If the site is full, then the District will work to offer available options, including the assigned site based on residency or another site that has space available. I understand that I waive Special Education transportation services for my child if I accept enrollment in a school of Choice. I understand that applications submitted after the deadline will be processed in the order received. I understand that if my student is enrolled, he/she must remain in the new school of enrollment until the completion of the school year he/she begins. The address used for eligibility will be verified upon enrollment in the new school. It is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian to complete the application correctly and accurately or it will not be processed. I also understand that falsification of the student information may result in disqualification for enrollment. Only one application may be submitted per child and must be for the grade level the applicant will be eligible for in the 2025-2026 school year.
