Foster Care Placement
Change in Custody

In our effort to provide stability to the academic lives of our students, children who moved due to a court-ordered change in custody due to a recent separation or divorce, or the serious illness or death of a custodial parent may request preferential enrollment.

The student must be in good standing with the district. Furthermore, the school must have Choice seats available. If the selected school has reached capacity, the student will be placed on a waitlist. The preferential enrollment will be considered at the time a Choice seat becomes available.
