SCHOOLS OPEN TO CHOICE FOR THE 2022-23 SCHOOL YEAR

ROUND 1

This list includes schools that are open to Choice for new families and students.  If your family has a sibling at a school that is not on this list you can still apply for siblings to attend there.  If your family has a student that is attending a school that is not on the list and you have moved out of the boundary for that school, you can apply for your student to continue at the school.  Families may apply to return to their boundary school through the Choice process even if the boundary school is not on this list.

Per Superintendent Policy, in-district applications are considered before out-of-district applications.  All Choice applications received by the January 31^st deadline will be considered at the same time.  There is NOT an appeal process to denied Choice applications.

NOTICE TO PARENTS OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:

The Choice program is open to students with disabilities.  Students with disabilities placed in a Significant Support Needs, Affective Needs or Autism Spectrum Disorder Program may apply to any program listed in the special education section below.  Spaces are subject to capacity and staffing resources.  If no programs are listed below, the district does not have the available space or staff to accommodate students from outside a school’s attendance area or outside of the Adams 12 boundaries with existing resources.

TUITION PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS

Admissions to tuition based preschool programs are managed through the district’s Schools of Choice program.  Please note, approval to attend a preschool in an area other than that of the student’s boundary school or a magnet school is for preschool only. A student who wishes to attend their out-of-boundary preschool or magnet preschool for kindergarten must apply for Choice when transitioning from preschool to kindergarten.

Tuition-based preschool will cost $365 per month. The tuition payment of $365 is due at the time of enrollment and will be applied to the last month’s tuition.

Please click here for more preschool information.   This application does not guarantee a spot in preschool. If you are accepted in the lottery you will then enroll your child with your approved preschool site.

Please note, acceptance into a tuition preschool program cannot be converted into a Colorado Preschool Program spot.  If you wish to participate in the Colorado Preschool Program please call 720-972-8762.
