Open Enrollment Information

The Appleton Area School District shall allow nonresident students residing within the State of Wisconsin to attend school full time or part time* within the AASD, and resident students shall be permitted to attend school in other district (inter-district).  The process for nonresident parents to submit open enrollment applications takes place in February (between the first Monday in February and 4:00PM on the last weekday in April).  Absolutely no late applications will be accepted.  For more information about the Out-of-District Open Enrollment process, please see below.

 

Once accepted as an open enrolled student, the student may transition to the same middle and high school as their attendance area peers.  If the elementary or middle school student is transferring to a middle or high school which transition to more than one school, then the student will be afforded a choice of schools.

 

Transportation for open enrolled students is the responsibility of the parent/guardian.

 

*Part-time open enrollment allows high school students to take up to two courses in nonresident school districts as long as the course has space available.

This process allows a student to attend a school outside of their home school attendance area but within his or her resident school district.  This is a local issue.
