Choice Enrollment
-
Choice Enrollment (also referred to as "Open Enrollment") is held annually beginning in January for the upcoming school year for students entering kindergarten through 12th grade. This is the process by which in-district and non-resident families may be granted authorization to enroll students in a school other than their assigned neighborhood school.
Students who reside outside the boundaries of Lewis-Palmer School District are approved on a year-to-year basis in order to remain enrolled in Lewis-Palmer School District (not applicable to Monument Academy since charter school policies differ). Students who choiced in to an elementary school from outside the district prior to the 2015-16 school year are "grandfathered" and may finish out sixth grade at that school. Students who reside within the boundaries of Lewis-Palmer School District are approved for all the grade levels served by that school.
