Open enrollment letters must be submitted on
an annual basis. Please be aware that there are
no guarantees that siblings will be able to
remain in the same building. The decisions
regarding open enrollment are often not made
until one to two weeks prior to the start of the
school year due to enrollment fluctuations which
occur over the summer.
