Applications OPEN for the 2026-2027 school year

Timeline & Application Process

Generally, students should attend the school assigned to them based on where they live, per school board policy. However, we recognize that transfer to another school within the district may be best for the individual student in certain situations. Therefore, the district may approve parent/guardian requests for transfers to another school, depending on availability.

Note: This does not apply to Trost students. For information on Trost attendance and transfers, please contact the school.
