The Open Enrollment Program is Wisconsin's inter-district public school program, which allows students to attend school districts other than the one in which they live. Students are accepted by nonresident districts based on availability of space at each grade level and priorities set by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). The Open Enrollment selection process is described in Board Policy 5113. Parents are responsible for providing transportation.
The application dates for this program for the 2025/2026 School Year are 12:00 a.m. February 3, 2025 through 4:00 p.m. April 30, 2025. If you want to apply for Open Enrollment, you are encouraged to apply online using the Department of Public Instruction’s online application at this link. The Department of Public Instruction has posted screenshots of the application process to help families with filing out these forms.
Please note that the online applications will not be available until 12:00 a.m. February 3, 2025. During the application period, a computer will be available in the Greendale School District Office for your use in accessing the online application. Limited paper applications will be available at the District Office only. Parents must submit paper applications to the Greendale School District, 6815 Southway, Greendale, WI 53129, no earlier than February 3, 2025 and no later than 4:00 p.m. on April 30, 2025. A postmark does not meet this requirement.
Applications for the Open Enrollment Program must be submitted in the nonresident district. Please note that state law requires that we strictly adhere to these application dates. Further information about Open Enrollment is available at the Public School Open Enrollment Homepage. Students currently attending our schools under Open Enrollment do not need to reapply unless notified to do so, however, students currently attending under a Tuition Waiver must apply for Open Enrollment during the application period. Please realize that Tuition Waiver students are not guaranteed an Open Enrollment seat. In addition, if you move before the end of the year, we will help you complete the necessary paperwork for your child to continue in our school district until the year ends.
