*Early Bird Open Enrollment registration for the 2025-26 school year begins on Sept. 1, 2024, and ends Dec. 1, 2024. After early bird applications were processed, parents and guardians were notified of their application status through email before the 2024 winter break.
Open Enrollment registration continues for the 2025-26 school year on Jan. 6, 2025. Students will be waitlisted if school and/or program capacity has been reached. Prioritized students will be selected off of the waitlist first. If there are more prioritized students than there are openings, a lottery will be implemented for those prioritized students. Those not selected will remain on the waitlist. If there are no prioritized students on the waitlist, students will be selected based on the date and time the application was submitted.
PVSchools uses current enrollment to determine each school’s student enrollment, projected growth, and available space. Priority enrollment is given to students currently enrolled in PVSchools, children of employees, siblings of students currently enrolled in PVSchools, resident pupils, students in foster care, and students who meet the definition of unaccompanied youth prescribed in the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. If there are no prioritized enrollments, applications will be accepted by the submission date and time.
