Elementary Out of Area Admissions Process:
…opens on January 6, 2025. If you applied to Montrose through out of area admissions in previous years you do not need to apply again. This information is if you are looking for a school out of your home area for next year. If you are not sure how the out of area process works, please contact the office before applying.
Students have the opportunity to access schools outside of the school that is designated to serve their home address by applying for Out-of-Area Admissions. Acceptance at these schools is subject to space availability. Find more information and details here.
If you are interested in attending a school other than your designated school by address, applicants can submit one online application. When applying for Out-of-Area admissions, applicants may include one (1) school choice in their application.
Transportation is the responsibility of the applicant when attending an Out-of-Area school.
Applicants may select Regular program, Early Immersion or a Middle/Extended Immersion Program. If selecting a French program, the applicant must already be enrolled or registered for the selected French program.
Students applying for Out-of-Area Admissions in JK should also still register at their local/designated school by address in case they are not selected at their requested school. If selected, the parent/guardian/caregiver must notify the local school.
