Newton Open Enrollment Procedures

New LPS Open Enrollment Process Begins October 1st. All Open Enrollment forms can be found on the district site.

Newton is pleased to accept applications from students for Open enrollment. NONRESIDENT STUDENT means your student lives outside of the LPS attendance area (but may currently attend an LPS school). IN-DISTRICT OPEN ENROLLMENT means your student lives within the LPS attendance area, but would like to enroll at an LPS school of choice, not the home school.

All qualified students who apply within the open enrollment window will be part of a random drawing for acceptance, following district enrollment guidelines.  This means families will have several weeks to turn in open enrollment applications for a random drawing of qualified students. Families will no longer feel pressured to line up on October 1st to turn in applications for open enrollment.  Open enrollment applications must be turned in to each requested school with any additional supporting documents the school requires.  Open enrollment for the 2025-2026 School year is as follows:

  • All middle school open enrollment applications for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year will be collected from October 1, 2024 - November 15, 2024.

  • Copy of elementary transcripts including 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade
  • Copy of last year's and this year's attendance report
  • Copy of discipline record (The report is available from your current school), or a letter from school indicating no discipline actions.
