Notification

Parents will be notified of the status of their Open Enrollment request via US mail by June 5, 2026.

Additional Information

• Once accepted as an open-enrolled student, the student may transition to the same middle and high school as their attendance area peers. If an elementary or middle school student transfers to a middle or high school that transitions to more than one school, the student will be afforded a choice of schools.

• There is no need to reapply if your student is already open-enrolled into the Appleton Area School District. 

• Transportation for open-enrolled students is the responsibility of the parent/guardian.

Alternative Open Enrollment

An alternative application allows students to apply for open enrollment during the current school year or outside of the regular application period. This is available starting in July.
