Application Regulation
One application per student, per year may be submitted to one school district. You may indicate a second choice and third choice on your application. (If you apply to more than one district, you may be disqualified for all districts that year.)
You must be physically residing at the address which qualifies you for Schools of Choice at the time of application.
Application Lottery
If more applications are received in a district than openings are available, there will be a random lottery drawing for all applications received prior to the deadline. If your application is not selected by your first choice district, they will automatically forward your application to your second and/or third choice districts.
Waiting lists will be created at choice districts after the lottery/random draw and parents will be notified if spaces become available.
This communication will be sent out via email. Please make sure to check your spam/junk folder.
Athletic Regulations
Please contact our Athletic Director, Pat Marsman (pmarsman@nvps.net) with any questions about MHSAA eligibility for new students.
Application Acceptance
Accepted students must agree to comply with choice districts policies.
Transportation is NOT provided for Schools of Choice students. Parents must provide their own transportation to and from school for children accepted for enrollment through the Kent ISD Collaborative Schools of Choice Plan.
Once accepted you will be allowed continuous enrollment in that district until graduation, until you withdraw from that district, or until you reside outside of Kent ISD, at which time you must return to your resident district.
Siblings of students currently attending under the Schools of Choice Program will be assigned to open spots before a random draw begins. Students who reside in the same household as students enrolled in the immediately preceding school year, semester or trimester will be considered “siblings” for the purpose of Schools of Choice.
Under the Kent ISD Collaborative Schools of Choice Plan, movement between school districts is limited solely by space availability in the receiving district and/or the applicant’s documented history of in-school or out-of-school suspensions, expulsions, or felony offenses.
