February Open Enrollment Guidelines
In-County Reassignments:
If your student is currently on reassignment to a school other than his/her assigned geographic school, you no longer have to renew each February. Your student will remain on that school’s roster until your student has completed the highest grade level offered at that school.
During this month, you may select any school in our district as your student’s home school. If you decide to select a school other than your assigned geographic school for your student to attend, be careful to note any special conditions such as transportation.
