SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR A LINK TO THE CHOICE APPLICATION

SCHOOLS OPEN TO CHOICE FOR THE 2021-22 SCHOOL YEAR

If applying for Choice, you will not begin the enrollment process until Choice results are emailed the 3rd week of February.

You will be able to enroll at your Choice school via your approval email at that time. 

ROUND 1 

This list includes schools that are open to Choice for new families and students.  If your family has a sibling at a school that is not on this list you can still apply for siblings to attend there.  If your family has a student that is attending a school that is not on the list and you have moved out of the boundary for that school, you can apply for your student to continue at the school.  Families may apply to return to their boundary school through the Choice process even if the boundary school is not on this list. 

Per Superintendent Policy, in-district applications are considered before out-of-district applications.  All Choice applications received by the January 31st deadline will be considered at the same time.  There is NOT an appeal process to denied Choice applications. 

NOTICE TO PARENTS OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:

The Choice program is open to students with disabilities. Students with mild/moderate disabilities and students placed in a Significant Support Needs, Affective Needs or Autism Spectrum Disorder Program may apply to any program listed in the special education section below.  If no programs are listed below, the district does not have the available space or staff to accommodate students from outside a school’s attendance area or outside of the Adams 12 boundaries with existing resources. 

TUITION PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS 

Admissions to tuition-based preschool programs are managed through the district’s Schools of Choice program.  Please note, approval to attend a preschool in an area other than that of the student’s boundary school or a magnet school is for preschool only. A student who wishes to attend their out-of-boundary preschool or magnet preschool for kindergarten must apply for Choice when transitioning from preschool to kindergarten. 

Tuition-based preschool will cost $365 per month. There is a non-refundable $50 registration fee and $315 deposit (that are both applied to the last month's tuition).  If your tuition account becomes delinquent your student will no longer be allowed to attend the Tuition Preschool program until the delinquent account has been brought up to date. This application does not guarantee a spot in preschool. If you are accepted in the lottery you will then enroll your child with your approved preschool site.
