Designated Attendance Zones
The District has six elementary schools, each with a designated attendance zone. If you live in a designated attendance zone, your child will be assigned to that school with the following exceptions:
- Student Needs/Services
- Class Size Targets
- Sibling Placement
- Childcare
Flex Attendance Zones
The District also has five flex attendance zones. If you live in a flex attendance zone (which may include two or three schools) your child will be assigned to one of these schools in order to balance class sizes across all six elementary buildings. Flex attendance zones allow the District to better utilize existing resources, such as staff, space, transportation, and reduce the need for administrative transfers.
Utilize the District Attendance Zone Map to search your address to see which designated or flex attendance zone you are located in. Please note that elementary school assignments are determined by the district and all attendance zones should be confirmed with the School Registrar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What criteria does the District consider when determining a student’s building assignment in a Flex Attendance Zone?
Criteria considered, but not limited to, during the enrollment process:
- Student Needs/Services
- Class Size Targets
- Sibling Placement
- Childcare
- Transportation
- Proximity to the School
- Neighbors
When do new students receive their school assignments?
The Central Registrar’s Office will mail school assignments to families of kindergarten and new students typically by the end of July. Due to the changing nature of enrollment throughout the spring and summer, this timing is needed to help balance class sizes across the district.
Will students attend the same school as older siblings?
Yes, when a student with an older sibling enters kindergarten, that student will attend the same school if their sibling is still currently enrolled at that school.
Where do students who live in flex zones go for kindergarten screening?
Students who live in flex zones will be given a kindergarten screening location by the Registrar at their registration appointment.
Once students who live in a flex zone are assigned to a school, will they remain in that school?
Yes. The district wants continuity and stability for families. Once students who live in a flex zone are assigned to an elementary school for kindergarten it is expected that they will remain in the school for their elementary years. We want all families to feel a part of their school community.
What is an administrative transfer?
If your child’s grade level is at capacity in your designated or flex attendance zone, your child may be placed at a different elementary school.
