We recognize the desire of some parents/guardians to enroll their children in a different school. If you are interested in applying for admission to a school in the Ririe School District, please review the information on this page. 

All non-resident students must provide a behavior/discipline record and an attendance record from their current/previous school when submitting their application. These records are essential for evaluating the student's suitability for admission and assessing their past behavior and attendance history. Without these documents, the application will be considered incomplete, and it will not be processed until the required records are attached. 

Application Process

1. Read the Board Policy on Open Enrollment (Policy 3010)

2. Read the Board Policy on Open Enrollment Procedure (Policy 3010P)

3. Fill out the Open Enrollment Application form. 

   • Open Enrollment Form (Doc)

   • Open Enrollment Form (PDF)

4. Email or hand deliver the completed form and records to the principal of the school for which you are requesting open enrollment.

Application Deadlines

Applications will be accepted until February 1 of each year for enrollment in the subsequent school year. This deadline shall be waived in the case of students who move out of their attendance zone during the school year. The District may consider applications submitted after February 1. 

Application Reviews

The District will prioritize applications from students who have parents who work in the district and may deny students for one or more of the following reasons:

• • The student was expelled by the previous District;

  • The student has a documented history of significant disciplinary issues or a history of chronic absenteeism. However, students applying who have a 504 plan or IEP may not be denied enrollment or have enrollment revoked if the behavior resulting in disciplinary action or chronic absenteeism is a manifestation of the student’s disability.

    • A student is considered chronically absent if the student is absent 10% or more school days during the school year. 

  • The receiving school within the District does not have space available according to the capacity limits set by the Board of Trustees.

  • It is determined that information on the Open Enrollment Application has been misrepresented or was incomplete.

Applicants will receive notification of their open enrollment status within 60 school days of the application deadline.

Transportation

Parents/guardians of a student accepted under this policy will be responsible for transporting the accepted student.

Re-enrollment

Open Enrollment students do not need to re-apply to maintain their enrollment at the school in which they’re enrolled; however, the parent/guardian shall notify the District of their intention to re-enroll on an annual basis no later than February 1.
