Open Enrollment applications for students currently enrolled in the 6th and 7th grades for the 2011-2012 school year will be accepted for the following middle schools: Harriet Eddy, Edward Harris, Samuel Jackman, Joseph Kerr, Elizabeth Pinkerton, James Rutter and T.R. Smedberg.

Parents are invited to attend informational Open Enrollment meetings at 6:30 p.m. on January 23 at Elk Grove High School or at 6:30 p.m. on February 1 at Monterey Trail High School. 

To apply for Open Enrollment, parents/guardians must complete one Open Enrollment form for each student seeking transfer. Parents may get forms from schools, by calling the Secondary Education office at (916) 686-7706 or going online to www.egusd.net.

For the application to be accepted, the completed form must be postmarked or delivered to the Secondary Education Office at the Robert L. Trigg Center at 9510 Elk Grove-Florin Road by 5 p.m. on Friday, February 9, 2012.  Late applications will not be considered.

In addition, in order for the application to be accepted, the address on the application must MATCH the address that is listed with the district.  Parents/guardians may verify that their address listed with the district is correct or may change it by contacting their child’s school.

The district reserves the right to limit the number of students transferring into or out of any schools.

Parents/guardians of students granted an Open Enrollment Transfer are responsible for providing transportation for the student to and from school.  EGUSD will not provide transportation for these students.  The Open Enrollment Agreement applies only to the student submitting the application.  It does not include siblings.

Students currently enrolled at a middle or high school on Open Enrollment, who intend to continue at their current school, DO NOT need to reapply for Open Enrollment.

No elementary schools are included in Open Enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year.
