TK and K "priority" enrollment starts on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 and concludes on Wednesday, February 16, 2024. Any students enrolling in grades TK and K after February 16, 2024 would not receive sibling priority and may not have residence/neighborhood priority. Please note that we have periodically experienced impacted enrollment for Kindergarten at various schools. Those students not assigned a space in their neighborhood school will be diverted to the next closest available school and will be automatically placed on the waitlist for their neighborhood school.
