We will continue to accept applications after the lottery is held. Applications received March 1, 2024 or later will be processed in the order received. Processing for new applications may take up to three weeks. If the program is full, we will continue receiving applications for the waitlist. 

Parents who complete applications will either be assigned to a school or placed on a waitlist. If your student is  assigned to a school then parents have three weeks (15 school days) to complete registration by collecting the required documents to submit to the assigned school and completing a registration packet.

 

Parents without a PG&E bill in their name can verify their residence by completing a residency affidavit at the district office. Once the residency affidavit has been approved, please bring the approved copy to your assigned school office.
