Posted on: January 6, 2026
SPS enrollment for the 2026-2027 academic year has opened. There are some changes this year to the School Choice Process that make it more streamlined.
- The School Choice window will now run from January 5th through January 31st
- You will have the opportunity to complete a School Choice request when you enroll your student with SPS online (new students) or via The Source (currently enrolled SPS students)
- All School Choice requests recieved during the window will be considered on an equal basis and will be open to tiebreakers
- School Choice requests recieved after the window will be processed on a first come, first served basis
- March 31st is the deadline to submit a School Choice request
- All waitlists will be dissolved on May 31st
