Families are provided with the opportunity to select their student’s learning pathway through our School Choice Office.  As the district has many choices, enrollment options include your local neighborhood school and schools like ours, that have a dedicated program theme.  Here at Oceanway Middle, our military students live in the neighborhood or request a seat assignment by applying through the district’s lottery or by submission of a Military Transfer Option.   If you are interested in enrolling with us, please contact the school choice office to apply for your military enrollment priority.
