LPS Open Enrollment Process Begins October 1st
LPS offers many educational choices to resident and non-resident families and welcomes out of district students. Resident families may attend their attendance-area school or apply for open enrollment at another LPS school. Colorado state law allows non-residents to enroll students in any Colorado school without paying tuition when state and district guidelines are followed.
LPS Open Enrollment Guidelines
District residents have priority consideration over non-residents.
There is space available at the student’s grade level.
There is a school program appropriate for the enrolling student.
The student must be in good standing, grades, attendance and behavior, in his or her previous school.
Good standing applies to resident and non-resident students seeking new and continuing open enrollment.
Schools may have additional criteria for open enrollment applications, especially at the middle and high school levels. Please visit the district website for more information on open enrollment: http://littletonpublicschools.net/open-enrollment.
Open Enrollment Process
To open enroll your students submit a completed open enrollment form along with documentation requested by the school. An open enrollment application may be submitted for the 2019-2020 school year from October 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019. Applications are available at LPS schools and online beginning October 1, 2018. After January 31, 2019, all applications for the 2019-2020 school year will be considered on a first-come, first served basis.
Open enrollment applications must be returned directly to the school(s). All open enrollment requests must be approved before students can be registered.
Existing non resident open enrolled students wanting to continue at the same school next year must complete an "Intent to Renew" form. Intent to Renew is due no later than January 31st. This form is available on the district website starting October 1, 2018.
Existing open enrolled elementary and middle school students planning to attend LPS middle or high school must complete a new open enrollment application.
Parents are responsible for providing transportation for open enrolled students. District transportation may be provided when space is available on established bus route. To see if bus transportation may be available, please visit the Bus Transportation page on the district website and complete an online “space availability” form. Space availability forms for the 2019-2020 school will not be available until spring of 2019. Keep in mind that space available transportation requests may not be processed until October of 2019.
