Incoming kindergarten students and others who will be new to Seattle Public Schools for the 2011-2012 school year can get a jump on the enrollment process starting this month:
- Sat., Oct. 16: Enroll preschool and kindergarten students during Seattle Public Schools’ Family Academy & Early Learners’ Resource Fair at South Shore School in Rainier Beach. Interpreters will be provided.
- Tues., Oct. 19: Enroll preschool and kindergarten students at Beacon Hill Library (2821 Beacon Ave. S.) from 5:30-7 p.m.
Early enrollment allows families to avoid long lines during the busy spring and summer enrollment periods. While early enrollment does not impact where a student is assigned to school – under the new student assignment plan, assignment is based on the student’s home address – it is offered as a convenience to families, enabling them to get the enrollment paperwork completed ahead of time.
In addition, families who have students enrolling early – as well as existing students – will receive their school assignment notification in early 2011, prior to the Open Enrollment period in the spring. Students may apply to attend a different school of their choice during Open Enrollment.
Students who enroll during the Open Enrollment period will receive their school assignment notifications in late spring.
