Enroll

Open Enrollment is designed to enable any student to attend a school or program outside their district of residence. This choice program empowers parents and guardians to select the school that is the right fit for their child, regardless of where they live.

Before Selecting a School or Program

• Identify student's needs and interests and desirable educational experiences.
• Contact school or district office for information on educational options.
• Tour school: ask questions of principals, teachers, parents, and students.

All families wishing to open enroll in Eden Prairie Schools must complete the Open Enrollment Application (printed and filled out) along with the student enrollment forms (Kindergarten and/or Grades 1-12). Kindergarten and Grades 1-12 enrollment forms can be submitted online or printed and filled out. These forms can be turned in to Laurie Hemstock at the same time.

The district will notify the non-resident parent/guardian and the resident district if an application has been accepted or rejected within 30 days of receiving the application for current year enrollment.

The District will accept applicants in the order applications are received, with consideration given to administrative policy. Some schools/grade levels may be closed to Open Enrollment based on class-size targets or school capacity.

If you have missed the January 15 Open Enrollment deadline for the next school year, contact Laurie Hemstock to see if you qualify for a waiver. Open Enrollment Applications are available at any school or the district office.

There are no schools or grades currently closed for the 2019-20 school year.
