Welcome to School Choice!

Open Enrollment - School Choice window opens April 6th!

The window will run through
April 6th, 2026, - August 1st, 2026.

Reminder: Open Enrollment - School Choice does not apply to students who are attending their zoned school.
The application offerings are limited to only those school sites that have availability of seating capacity; not all schools will be available to select from.  The form will be available through FOCUS if you wish to attend a school other than your zoned school location.  This is a SEPARATE form that must be filled out in addition to registering your student to attend their zoned school.

Email is Best:  Currently, due to the high volume of calls and messages and limited staff to respond, please do not call if you have a School Choice question. Instead, email us at schoolchoice@leonschools.net with your student's name, your question, and your contact information, and we will respond as soon as we can.
