Open Enrollment is a Wisconsin program that allows parents to apply for their children to attend a school district other than the one in which they live.
Who may participate?
Students from 5-year-old kindergarten to grade 12 may apply. Open enrollment for early childhood and 4-year-old kindergarten is limited. Parents should call their district of residence to find out if their preschool-aged children qualify for open enrollment.
How and when may parents apply?
The application period for the 2019-2020 school year is February 4 - April 30, 2019, at 4:00 p.m.

NOTE: If you currently have a student attending school in the School District of Reedsburg through open enrollment, you DO NOT need to re-apply.
What if I'm new to the area or missed the deadline? Can I still apply for open enrollment?
Yes, you can. Open enrollment alternative forms for 2019-2020 will be available after the original deadline has passed. Please contact the district office at (608) 524-2016, ext. 2030, for assistance.
How do I know whether my student is accepted or denied?
Acceptance and denial letters are mailed the first week in June. If a student is accepted, parents/guardians must contact the district to confirm the placement.
Who is responsible for transportation?
Parents who have open enrolled their children in another district are responsible for transporting their children to and from school. If transportation is required for a child with a disability in the individualized education program, the nonresident district must provide transportation.
