The first open enrollment period for school year 2020-21 is from Oct 1 - Nov 30, 2020. Notifications will be made in early December. The second enrollment period is from Dec 1 - 31, 2020 with notifications being made in early January 2021. A third enrollment period is from Jan 1 - Feb 1, with notifications being made in early March. A fourth enrollment period is from Feb 2 - Mar 31 with notifications being made in early April. Enrollment applications dated after March 31 will be processed on a space available basis.

During any open enrollment period, if demand exceeds available slots, an enrollment lottery will be held. During each enrollment period, a certain percentage of available slots will be allocated. Some available slots will be held to the next enrollment period in order to finalize numbers as the school waits to get enrollment information from continuing students. All expected and remaining initial open enrollment slots will be available during enrollment period three.

Residents of Vineyard and Lindon are given a neighborhood enrollment preference.

An offer of admission is made via email. Offers are made on an individual basis to each student and not by family. We do our best to keep families together. The Offer of Admission and Registration form must be signed within 5 days or the offer is considered declined. Parents must also submit any required supporting documentation such as birth certificates and immunization records within 30 days of registration or the offer is considered declined. A student who does not arrive for the first day of school is considered declined, unless the parent has contacted the office. Once an offer is declined a parent must start over in the open enrollment process and receive a new acceptance letter.

Initial open slots for 2020-21 are:

Additional slots may open based on how many current students return. However, these initial slots will be filled at a minimum. For purposes of the lottery, seats are filled in order of Kindergarten to Sixth grade.

It is very important that supporting documents are submitted by the listed dates for completing the registration packet and before your students attend. Documents can be emailed, faxed, or mailed. Please note, by Utah Statute, you can only register at one school at any given time.
