Alternate Enrollment

Families in our community value choice and we provide a variety of learning environments to meet your child’s individual needs. All students in District 834 are eligible to attend school outside of their assigned attendance area providing space is available at the school of their choice and application processes are followed (see Policy 509). Requests are filled based on priorities outlined on the Administrative Procedures. Transportation will not be provided for students choosing to enroll outside of their attendance area.

Required

Alternate Enrollment Application

Applications will be accepted beginning Oct. 1, with priority given for those submitted prior to Jan. 15

Stillwater Area Public Schools District 834 may allow students to attend a school other than the one serving their attendance area.

The approval of each request will depend upon adequate space at the requested elementary or middle school, as well as economical and educationally sound staffing arrangements.
Each student is assigned a neighborhood school based on where they live, and school bus routes are designed to serve those attendance areas. Students who choose to attend a different school through alternate enrollment are NOT eligible for district transportation. Families are responsible for transportation to and from school. Alternate students who attempt to ride district buses without permission will lose the alternate school privilege.
- Note: Transportation may be available from a qualifying daycare or alternate residential address located within the attendance boundary of the student’s chosen school, provided space is available on an existing bus route.
Only under extraordinary circumstances will new requests or change of alternate requests be considered after Aug. 1.

Students who are not currently enrolled in the district must also fill out an enrollment form.

Parents will be notified by Feb. 15 regarding whether the student(s) are approved or not approved. Applications submitted after the deadline will be notified within 2-3 weeks.
