    • The enrollment process
    • The new School Choice lottery timeline
    • Understanding school choice options and eligibility
    • See here for additional information
    • The School Choice application form will be available through the Source
    • Families of current SPS students can access the form starting Monday, Jan.5.  
    • Newly enrolled SPS students interested in a choice school can request to attend a school that is not their attendance area school through the online enrollment application. These opt-in choices will be processed manually once the enrollment process is complete. (All enrolled students receive an automatic assignment to their attendance area school or linked attendance area school) 
    • No late school choice applications will be accepted after Jan. 31, 2026. 
    • If there are more student applications than seats available at a school, a waitlist will be created. All waitlists will be active through May 31, 2026, then dissolved.
