Open Enrollment is the designated period when families can apply for the upcoming school year and receive equal consideration for available seats. If we receive more applications than we have seats, a random lottery determines which students are offered a seat and sets the order of the waiting list. If we receive fewer applications than seats, all eligible students are accepted.
