(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.
