Dear Parents:

The guidelines for Open Enrollment (Choice) in Jordan School District have been established. A School Transfer Application must be completed. When you have completed the School Transfer Application form indicating another school you want your student to attend in Jordan School District for 2008-09, return the form to the principal at the receiving school. Students will be accepted on a first come, first-served basis as long as space and staff are available. The date and time of day written on the form will determine the order and number of students accepted. The cut off date to receive Open Enrollment applications is February 15, 2008. If your child has particpated in the athletic program, make certain that eligibility is maintained in the transfer.
