Magnet Elementary
Application Process for 2010-11

If space is available and all entrance requirements met, a student will be accepted immediately into the elementary magnet school when the parent signs up. Students are accepted into elementary magnet schools on a first-come basis.

A student’s name may be on a waiting list at several elementary magnet schools. But once the child is accepted into a magnet school, the child’s name is removed from all waiting lists. Students not accepted into a magnet school must attend their neighborhood elementary school.

All magnet applications will be stamped with date and time. No applications will be accepted, and no waiting lists created, prior to the start of the official application cycle on November 2, 2009.
