Some restrictions apply to school choice requests

Parents or guardians who wish to enroll their children in an Oconee public school outside their attendance zone may make application during an open enrollment period that started yesterday and will run until June 5. Applications are found on the district website under the Parents tab. If you are unable to complete the online request, please contact the school office to obtain a paper copy to complete and return to the school that you want to attend. The normal criteria for enrollment into an out of attendance zone school again apply, but there are some added ones this year. Because of space restraints, new school choice requests are not being accepted for the following schools and grade levels: Ravenel Elementary School 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades; Walhalla Elementary, 4th and 5th grades; and Westminster Elementary, 3rd grade. Students currently attending those schools and in those grade levels will be grandfathered as long as they continue to meet school choice requirements and continue to complete an application each year.
