The FCPS Department of Student Services is now receiving requests for student enrollments in schools outside of the student's home attendance district for the 2023-2024 school year. Requests to enroll in a school that is not a student's home school district must be made by parents/legal guardians. Guidelines for requests are outlined in FCPS Regulation 400-15.

• Parents/guardians must apply for an out-of-district enrollment annually. Therefore, if your child is currently attending a school out of your attendance district, you must complete and submit an application if you would like to request that your child remain at that school.
• If a school's enrollment is over capacity, it is necessary to restrict out-of-district student enrollments in that school. This includes students whose daycare providers are located outside their assigned attendance area.
• 2023-2024 Closed Schools List
• Out-of-district requests submitted as the result of school redistricting by the Board of Education may be denied.

Parents or guardians who wish to request an out-of-district enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year must apply by completing the out-of-district application. The applications are available in English and Spanish. The application can also be found online at www.fcps.org under the "For Families and Students" tab. The application window is open until March 1, 2023. Families will be notified of the decision by April 1, 2023.

Any special guy welcome!
