Open Enrollment to a Middle School other than Middle School of Residence

 

The District has adopted an open enrollment policy which provides the opportunity for parents/guardians and their students to apply to attend a middle “school of choice” other than their school of residence during an annual open enrollment period. 

 

The open enrollment period will be January 11 through January 29, 2010.  Applications must be received no later than Friday, January 29, 2010, at 3:30 p.m. to be included in the random selection process for the 2010-2011 school year.    Open enrollment applications are available at your elementary school and must be submitted to your elementary school.

 

For the 2010-2011 school year, Redwood is at capacity and is not available for open enrollment.  American Canyon, Harvest and Silverado Middle Schools will have space available for open enrollment.  River School is a charter school which does not have an attendance area.  All applicants to River School must apply through open enrollment.

 

Should requests for open enrollment exceed the number of openings at the available “schools of choice”, selection of open enrollment applicants will be made through a random unbiased lottery process conducted by the Napa Valley Unified School District.

 

If approved, an open enrolled student becomes a student of the “school of choice” through the 8th grade.  Once approved, the student does not have automatic rights to return to his/her original school of residence.  If the student desires to return to the original school of residence, the parent/guardian must reapply through the annual open enrollment process.

 

The District provides bus transportation only for students who reside beyond designated walking distances within established school attendance areas.  The parent/guardian of a successful open enrollment applicant must provide transportation to and from the “school of choice”.
