The annual Choices application window for the 2026–27 school year is now open (Oct. 1st–Nov. 15th).

Current students who live outside the boundaries but have an incoming sibling must apply during the on-time window to receive sibling preference in the February lottery.

📅 October Attendance Incentive
As I often share: “In the classroom with our amazing teachers is where it’s at for our students!” Consistent daily attendance is vital to student success. Please try to schedule appointments after school, on non-school days, or during holiday breaks.
This month, we are excited to launch our October Attendance Incentive—classrooms with 100% perfect attendance will earn a smoothie party! I hope every classroom earns this reward, and we will continue with fun monthly incentives throughout the year.
