Intent to Renew

Intent to Renew for current open enrolled students at Arapahoe High School

  • Returning open enrolled families are no longer required to submit an Intent To Renew Form each year. A student who is open enrolled will remain open enrolled for the duration of attendance at that level (elementary, middle, or high) as long as space is available and the student remains in good standing. Open enrolled students are still required to apply for open enrollment again when they move from an elementary school to a middle school, and from a middle school to a high school, just as they have in the past.

LPS Registration

All students new to LPS must register by completing an online pre-registration form and submitting required documents to the District Registrar via email at districtregistrar[at]lps.K12.co[dot]us. If a student has not attended an LPS school during the current school year, please follow the checklist to register as a new student.
