HomeOpen Enrollment
For the coming school year, students interested in enrolling in a Salt Lake City school who live outside the district or school boundaries may apply for an out-of-resident transfer during the Open Enrollment period from December 1, 2009, until February 19, 2010. A student may request a Late Enrollment Period Transfer by completing a Standard Open Enrollment Application at any other time during the year. Applications are taken in the Student Services Department of the Salt Lake City School District Administration East Building, 440 East 100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah. Applications will not be accepted after 4 p.m. February 19, 2010.
Students may apply for enrollment in schools designated as “Open” to transfer. Selected schools and programs may be at capacity for the coming school year and not available as a choice for out-of-resident students. A list of available schools and programs or other information pertaining to the open enrollment policy may be obtained after November 30, 2009, from the Student Services Department at the above address or by calling 801.578.8206.
Students currently enrolled in sixth grade must apply for transfer to the middle school of their choice and eighth-grade students must make application for their high school of choice during the Open Window. Because Glendale Middle School houses grades 6-8, students interested in choosing Glendale should apply during their fifth-grade year.
A $5.00 processing fee will be charged at the time of application and may be waived for qualified applicants.
Parents and students will be notified in writing by March 31, 2010, of acceptance or rejection of the request for Open Window transfer to that school.
Out of resident students currently enrolled on a school choice transfer may remain enrolled in their school for the coming year unless their transfer is rejected for the coming school year.
Transfers may be rejected and enrollment discontinued in that school as a result of:
- lack of space in a program or school
- student’s unwillingness to comply with district/school rules and policies
- suspension/expulsion from school
If the transfer of a currently enrolled student is being rejected for the coming year, parents will be notified in writing by March 15, 2010.
