North Sanpete School District Open Enrollment (School Choice) Program


North Sanpete School District supports and promotes student choice for a school or program when that choice does not negatively affect the resident school and/or the receiving school. Procedures and guidelines are established in compliance with the Enrollment Options Program outlined in Utah Code. Students and/or parents requesting attendance at a school other than their home school shall complete the district application form using the guidelines below. Tuition may be charged for out-of-state students. Policies/procedures that govern the School Choice process are governed by NSSD Board Policy E-09 Student Enrollment - School Choice and its attached procedure.  NSSD Board policies can be found here.


Timeline for Open Enrollment Applications:


November 15 - 3rd Friday in February - early enrollment applications accepted for the following school year.


Applications received after the 3rd Friday in February for the following school year are considered Late Enrollment applications. 


In the case of Early Enrollment applications, applicants will be notified by the end of March of the approval/rejection of their application for the following school year.


In the case of Late Enrollment applications for the following school year, applicants will be notified of the approval/rejection of their applications within two weeks or two weeks prior to the start of the new school year - whichever is later.


Requests for the current school year are considered Late Enrollment applications and parents/guardians will be notified within two weeks of the approval/rejection of the enrollment application.

In non-emergency situations, approved applications for the current school year will receive an anticipated Start Date of the nearest grading term (i.e., quarter or trimester) for the requested school.  It is expected that the student will remain in their current placement until that approved start date.


Process for Open Enrollment Applications


  • Fill out the School Choice (Open Enrollment) application here.

  • The application will be evaluated by the Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent. They will reach out to parents/guardians at the provided contact information if additional information is required.

  • All applications are pending Board Approval. Applications for the current school year that include emergency consideration, as well as those whose application period falls before a scheduled Board meeting, may receive conditional approval, but final Board approval is still a requirement.

  • Conditional (if appropriate) and final approval will be communicated to the parent/guardian to the supplied contact information.

  • Additional requirements governing enrollment of students who reside outside the District boundaries are governed by NSSD Board Policy E-56 Admissions and Attendance: Eligibility and Admissions of Non-Resident Students, found here.

  • Once approval is granted, applicants from outside the District boundaries will need to follow the District’s New Student Registration procedures, found here.

If students are applying to participate in North Sanpete’s Dual Immersion program, a parent meeting will be scheduled following the School Choice application process.  Additional information on the program can be found here.
