Greendale Schools | Open Enrollment
The Open Enrollment Program is Wisconsin's inter-district public school program, which allows students to attend school districts other than the one in which they live. Students are accepted by nonresident districts based on availability of space at each grade level and priorities set by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI). Parents are responsible for providing transportation. The application dates for this program are February 4-April 30, 2013. If you want to apply for Open Enrollment, you are encouraged to apply on-line using the DPI’s on-line application system (OPAL) at this link. Please note that OPAL will not be available until February 4th. During the application period, a computer will be available in the Greendale School District Office for your use in accessing OPAL. Limited paper applications will be available at the District Office only. Parents must submit paper applications to the Greendale School District, 6801 Southway, Greendale, WI 53129, no earlier than February 4 and no later than 4 p.m. on April 30, 2013. A postmark does not meet this requirement.
Applications for the Open Enrollment Program must be submitted in the nonresident district. Please note that state law requires that we strictly adhere to these application dates. Further information about Open Enrollment is available at the Public School Open Enrollment Homepage. Students currently attending our schools under Open Enrollment do not need to reapply unless notified to do so, however, students currently attending under a Tuition Waiver must apply for Open Enrollment during the application period. Please realize that Tuition Waiver students are not guaranteed an Open Enrollment seat. In addition, if you move before the end of the year, we will help you complete necessary paperwork for your child to continue in our school district until the year ends.
The number of seats available is based on the projected enrollment for the 2013-14 school year. At the January 21, 2013 Board Meeting, the Greendale School Board approved 13 seats at 6th grade and 3 seats at 7th grade.
