Elementary Region School Zones

HOW TO APPLY FOR AN ELEMENTARY REGION SCHOOL ZONE ASSIGNMENT:

  1. Complete the appropriate region school zone application based upon your address.

  2. Submit the region school application via the online application system.

    • Confirmation email will be sent upon submission.

    • If you do not receive a confirmation email, you did not submit the application.

  3. Receive a school assignment email.

    • On time/lottery applications = school assignment email sent in late March/early April each year.

    • Late/ongoing applications = school assignment email sent within 24-48 hours.

    • Even if assigned to your second or third choice school a family must register at the assigned school in order to remain in the wait pool for their first choice school.

    • Student assignment will be based upon the following criteria - preference zone, full time site-based employee, sibling placement, socioeconomic diversity, family preference, and capacity.

  4. Review the school assignment email and complete the appropriate steps for enrollment.

  • If you are in need of enrollment assistance, please contact your assigned school.

  • School staff are responsible for checking all required enrollment documentation and verifying residency.

  • All school assignments have an enrollment deadline.

  • If parents/guardians do not complete the appropriate enrollment process by the stated deadline, they will be required to submit a new region school application.

Wait Pool Management:

  • Families assigned to their second or third choice school will remain in a wait pool for their first choice school.

  • Wait pools are only maintained for first choice schools.

  • Parents/Guardians must enroll their child at the assigned school in order to remain in the wait pool for their first choice school.

  • Once the school year begins, a student must be in attendance at the assigned school in order to remain in the wait pool for their first choice school.

  • On time applicants are placed prior to late applicants, as practicable.

  • Wait pools are maintained for one school year.

  • Families must reapply, beginning in January, to be eligible for a new school assignment the following year.

  • Families that are satisfied with their school assignment do not need to reapply in subsequent years.

Note:  An Elementary Magnet application seat placement will result in the withdrawal of an Elementary Region School Zone application.
