Open Enrollment

                               Monday, November 16, 2009 -- Friday, January 29, 2010

IMPORTANT:  No more scanner sheets or centralized location.  The new process for open enrollment is:

Students currently residing within and enrolled in a SJUSD school that wish to attend a school other than their designated neighborhood school will fill out a (pink) INTRA-DISTRICT TRANSFER application available at any school site.  The parent completes the form and then returns it to ANY school site where it will be forwarded to San Juan Central.

Students currently residing within the SJUSD boundaries but attend a private school or school outside district boundaries  must go to San Juan Central to complete a registration packet and intra-district transfer form (to attend EC).  This is the same for any student that resides in SJUSD boundaries but has never attended a SJ school.

Students currently residing within SJUSD boundaries currently enrolled in an alternative program i.e., Choices, Options, or Visions is treated the same as in-district students and need to fill out an intra-district transfer request.

Students residing outside the SJUSD boundaries that are currently attending a SJ school are treated the same as resident students and fill out an intra-district transfer request.  They will still need to renew their inter-district transfer each year.

Students residing outside district boundaries that wish to enroll in a SJUSD school must complete an INTER-DISTRICT TRANSFER request (originated at home district) and submit to San Juan Central between February 1, 2010 thru March 20, 2010.
