To ensure the safety of our families and staff, City Schools will be utilizing an online registration system to support this enrollment process, but families retain the option of in-person registration by visiting their neighborhood (zoned) schools to complete the enrollment process. Please note that the summer transfer period for EXISTING students is tentatively scheduled to launch July 19 – August 20. Please contact with any questions/concerns.

Please note that at the elementary school level, out-of-zone enrollments and intra-district transfer requests to out-of-zone schools MUST receive prior approval by district office staff.
