Open Enrollment is required if you would like to attend Cimarron Middle School but you live in the 

boundaries of another DCSD middle school or out of district.

Students who continue to reside in Douglas County (and still within DCSD) but have moved out of the attendance boundaries of Cimarron, and wish to remain, must submit a Notice of Intent to Remain form to the Registrar.   These students DO NOT need to open enroll.

• • If you are open enrolled at a neighborhood school or attend a DCSD-Authorized Charter School, but would like to return to the neighborhood school associated with your address for the next school year (26/27), intent to return forms were due to the school by January 5, 2026. If you missed this date, you must open enroll for a chance to return to your address assigned school, and enrollment is not guaranteed. 

  • Please note: If you are currently attending your address-assigned neighborhood school, there is nothing you need to do at this time if you wish to remain. 

  • The Intent to return process does not apply if you are home schooling, attending a non-DCSD Charter School, attending an out-of-district school, or private school. Please reach out directly to your address assigned school for more information. If you do not know your address-assigned school, visit the school locator map for more assistance. 

Families who wish their student to attend a school other than their address assigned school must complete an open enrollment application during one of two open enrollment periods DCSD offers annually. 

• You do not need to open enroll to stay at your current school (UNLESS you have moved out of district).

• Please create or log in to your EngagEd Parent Portal account to see your Open Enrollment status.
