School Placement During your enrollment appointment your child will not be placed at a ● school; placement comes once we’ve established availability at each school site for each grade level In the event that there is not space at your “home school” your student will ● be “overloaded” to a school with space When overloading, we try to keep students as close to their home school as possible and ○ within the attendance area Placement is done by enrollment date and time (with the exception of kinder ● priority students, which are by Lottery number) If overloaded, your student will be placed on a waitlist at the home school ● Students are “called back” to the home school, in order of waitlist number, as the space ○ becomes available
Important Tips Enrollments will only be accepted when all documentation is present - ● enrollment packet, proof of birth, updated immunizations, proofs of residency, homeowner/renter statement of residency Existing residency in Fremont is required for enrollment. A family must ● currently reside in Fremont - being in escrow does not establish residency. The name of the person who comes to the enrollment appointment needs to ● be appear on the proofs of residency documents. During TK-K Priority Enrollment, there is no priority based on appointment ● date time. All students enrolled during the priority window (Feb. 14-March 28) are eligible for kinder lottery, if needed. It is not necessary to wake up at 12:01AM on Feb. 7 to try to get the first available appointment.
