Due to limited space, wait lists are closed at most schools for the remainder of this school year. Individual waitlist updates were sent to families in mid-October. Please call/email if you did not receive a waitlist update.
If you are considering a mid-year transfer, please start by contacting your student’s current counselor or school administrator. Enrollment and Transfer will not process mid-year transfer requests for current students without a referral from their school.
