Open Enrollment for the 2022-2023 School Year is now available!

What is Open Enrollment?

Open Enrollment is an option offered by JMCSS for families to send their students to schools outside of their zoned area.  If seats are available, out-of-zone students can be enrolled in their requested school.

Do I have to reapply for the school my student currently attends through Open Enrollment each year?

Once a student has accepted admission and is attending a school through Open Enrollment, he or she can remain at the school until reaching the highest grade offered. Siblings of students who currently attend a school through open enrollment  must apply. They will have first priority at that school. If a seat is available, the sibling will be offered admission.
