Process
Step 2
Apply Online
Complete an application by the specified deadline, choosing up to three Open Enrollment schools that best match the student’s and/or family’s interests.
- Apply by the specified deadline.
- Application changes are only permitted before the application deadline.
- Review email confirmation of application submission.
- Review preferred methods of communication within the guardian account. (We recommend that both text and email formats are selected.)
Step 3
Selection Process
Following the application deadline, qualified applications are entered into the computerized, random lottery system to select applicants for available Open Enrollment seats.
Step 4
After the lottery
Once applications have been processed through the lottery, families will be notified via email and/or text that the lottery results are available for review. Results may be viewed on the parent dashboard by logging into the Schoolmint application system.
Possible lottery results:
SELECTED
If SELECTED is indicated, your student was offered a seat and families may accept that seat by clicking on the green “Accept” button. Students who apply for and are selected by more than one choice school may only accept one invitation and will be removed from other choice schools’ alternate and late lotteries.
Parents/guardians will receive an email confirming the acceptance of a selected seat. If you do not receive an email confirmation, please log back into your student’s application to ensure that your selection was properly recorded in the system.
Alternate Pool (the number of applicants exceeded the number of available seats)
If ALTERNATE POOL is indicated, no action is required at this time. An alternate pool status means that there were more applicants than available seats. If a seat becomes available, families will receive communication via the SchoolMint application system. Seats may be offered through the tenth day of the school year.
Step 5
Once your seat has been accepted within SchoolMint, please follow the steps for enrolling at the school. https://ccsd.net/parents/enrollment/ If you have any questions, the school will be able to assist further with your registration and enrollment needs.
