Update on School Choice Application and Enrollment

 

About 7,000 students have been sent a letter of acceptance into their first choice school.  The letters should start arriving at homes on April 24, 2010. In order to provide families with their first choice over the next three weeks schools may request additional student names from the Enrollment Options Office.  The students who are added will be contacted directly by the school.  On May 14 students who do not receive their first choice school will have an opportunity to be offered enrollment in their second choice school. 

 
San Diego Unified School District is proud to offer a variety of enrollment choices to students and parents throughout the city. Families may choose the convenience of attending their neighborhood school or explore the exciting programs available to students who reside within district boundaries and wish to attend a school other than their neighborhood school.
  • Magnet Programs: Magnet Schools provide in-depth, innovative, learning opportunities for students while meeting rigorous California state curriculum standards. Some of the opportunities include Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Creative and Performing Arts, International Baccalaureate Studies, MicroSociety, Paideia, and Language Immersion.

  • Voluntary Enrollment Exchange Program (VEEP): Students may attend schools other than their resident schools. VEEP is open to all students residing within a specific boundary of a school that has an approved VEEP pattern. Transportation is offered within the VEEP patterns.

  • Program Improvement School Choice (PISC): The federal "No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act" provides up to two school options for students attending a Program Improvement (P.I. ) school.

  • Open Enrollment: This offers parents the opportunity to apply an any school in the district on an availability basis only.  Open enrollment students do not receive district provided transportation.

  • Charter SchoolsCharter Schools are authorized by the SDUSD Board of Education. However, they do not use the School Choice application as they are not district run schools. Visit our Charter School Directory to get a list of the charter schools authorized by the district and contact each school directly.

Every school and program supports the district’s commitment to ensure our students’ future success in college and career. Enrollment in these programs are available to all district students, including English Learners, Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) and Special Education students. Thousands of students take advantage of these programs and enrollment is limited. Submitting an application is required during the open school choice application period which is from November 1, 2009 to February 15, 2010 for School Year 2010/11.
