The first round is now closed for the 24/25 school year, it closed on December 1st at 4:00pm. Schools will extend offers of open enrollment based on space availability by December 7th. Parents can see offers in the EngagED Parent Portal on December 11th at 8:00 am and will have until December 18th at 4:00 pm, to log back in and accept any open enrollment offers. In the event you did not receive any offers during First Round, you will remain on a waitlist for Second Round of Open Enrollment, which opens on January 22nd at 8:00 am.

A new letter is required each year that you apply.
