Returning Students: Welcome Back!

What is a returning student?
A child is a returning student if they at one point withdrew from the school district and are now returning. Withdrawing from the school district can mean withdrawing from a district-managed school, a charter school in the county, or a home education program.
Example: A child who transferred from a district-managed school to a private school; or transferred out of county or out of state. Now that child is returning to a district-managed school.
Below are instructions on how to re-enroll. Families are also encouraged to make an appointment with a school choice specialist for assistance.

If you are returning for the next school year:
Between April and the beginning of the new school year, you can cancel your charter school enrollment in FOCUS or you can visit your zoned neighborhood school and they can assist you.
Once you cancel your charter assignment, your child’s enrollment will shift to their zoned neighborhood school. If you would like to pursue enrollment in a different school, follow the school choice process for that school.
