This year, Metro Schools has streamlined the application process by combining fall and spring application periods. The Optional School Application period allows parents to make all of their choices at one time.

How to Apply:

• Optional School Applications will be accepted throughout the school year.
• Choose up to 7 schools.
• School choices must be prioritized from 1 (highest ranking) to 7 (lowest ranking).
• Pathway Continuity Applications can also be submitted through the online application.
• Applications submitted after November 30, 2012 will not be included in the random selection process. These applications will instead be added to the ends of all applicable school wait lists. If there is no waitlist and seats are available at a school, you will be accepted on a first -come first-serve basis.
