Each student is assigned to a neighborhood school, but may apply to attend another neighborhood or focus-option school or program. We encourage families to follow the steps below when making a school choice decision: • Learn about your neighborhood school • Explore other school options • Look up any PPS address at www.schoolchoice.pps.k12.or.us • Visit the district’s web site at www.pps.k12.or.us and Ready, Set, Connect at www.readysetconnect.pps.k12.or.us • Enroll at your neighborhood school or apply for transfer to a School Choice option • Neighborhood enrollment is year-round. School Choice transfer applications are accepted each winter, with assignments made each spring. Exact dates will be posted on the School Choice web site at www.schoolchoice.pps.k12.or.us ANNUAL SCHOOL CHOICE LOTTERY The annual School Choice lottery is run each year in accordance with district policy 4.10.051, Student Enrollment and Transfer, and administrative directive 4.10.054, Student Transfers. Families apply in the lottery to: • Request transfer to a school or program other than the neighborhood school • Request return to the neighborhood school if a student is currently on transfer. On time return-to-neighborhood applications are automatically approved. The School Choice lottery does not manage assignment to charter and alternative schools, including MLC and Access. Interested families should contact these schools directly for enrollment information. LOTTERY PROCESS • All School Choice applications will be assigned using a central, computerized lottery. • Preferences are given to students who qualify for NCLB priority or co-enrolled sibling status, in accordance with district policy. Students who qualify for free or reduced price meals may also receive preference to some schools.* • Some schools and programs require that families attend mandatory meetings and complete statements of understanding, in order for an application to be considered in the lottery.
