Open Enrollment Setup

The Open Enrollment Setup tools assist users in completing the annual tasks required for districts to effectively enroll students interested in attending schools for the upcoming year. During each Open Enrollment cycle (typically occurring every year), the district decides which schools, calendars, programs, and grade levels will be available for applicants. The number of spots for each option is determined by the district's available resources, including capacity and staffing.
