Friday, Dec. 11th is the LAST Day for Open Enrollment for Early Childhood and Magnet Schools for the 2021-2022 School Year! Open Enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year begins November 30-December 11, 2020. In an effort to enhance customer service district-wide, LRSD composed a fact sheet to help answer all questions parents or staff may have. Open Enrollment benefits P3/P4 students, and any student applying for a magnet/specialty school. If you have a K-12 student currently enrolled in LRSD, you DO NOT have to register, he/she will automatically roll up to his/her attendance zone school for the 2021-2022 school year. How to register if you are new to the District:
*Remember: Students who are currently attending an LRSD school and do not wish to make any changes in their assignments, DO NOT have to complete registration during Open Enrollment. How to apply for a magnet school: If your student is currently enrolled in an LRSD school:
If your student is not currently enrolled in an LRSD school:
*Students who are currently attending magnet/specialty schools DO NOT need to reapply, unless the student is currently a P3/P4 student.
