Open Enrollment
What is Open Enrollment?
The Wisconsin public school open enrollment program allows parents to apply for their children to attend school districts other than the one in which they reside.
Students in Kindergarten to Grade 12 may apply for open enrollment. Children entering 4K or early childhood education may apply if the child’s resident school district offers the same type of program.
For more information and resources, please visit the WI DPI website.
