During the School Choice Registration period, families can enroll their children for the 2026-2027 school year. NEW this year, NCSD’s School Choice Registration process will be open for a longer period to allow families to visit as many open houses across the district as they like and learn more about the exceptional opportunities available at every school.
NCSD School Choice Registration is open from December 1st, 2025, through January 16th, 2026!
The School Choice Registration period is the time for families of the following groups of students to choose their school preference for the 2026-2027 school year:
- New-to-NCSD students
- Incoming kindergarteners
- Students moving from 5th to 6th grade
- Students moving from 8th to 9th grade
- Students who are moving schools next year - any grade level
You do not need to complete this process if your child is not in one of the above categories.
NCSD offers School Choice because we believe no single education style fits the needs of all children. School Choice gives families the opportunity to find the schools that are best for their children. We encourage you to research schools before you make your selection.
- NCSD Family Guide: This guide features pages for each school with information about curriculum, programs, and school philosophies. - COMING SOON!
- NCSD Open House Schedule: Families can visit schools to learn more about the terrific opportunities available across the district.
Please, take your time as you make this important decision. Enrollment is NOT first-come, first-served; therefore, it does not matter when you complete the process while the window (December 1st, 2025 - January 16th, 2026) is open.
Please contact the NCSD Enrollment office at 307-253-5450 or [email protected] with questions.
