Nonresident students must apply each year for continued enrollment in LPS. Application may be made for the next school year beginning October 1 of each year. (The form can be accessed below.) Resident applications will receive priority consideration over nonresident applications from October 1 through January 31. After January 31, all applications—resident and nonresident—will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis when the following requirements are met:

• There must be room in the grade level the student will enter
• There must be a program in place in the new school that is appropriate for the enrolling student
• No district transportation will be provided unless there is room on an established route
• The student must be in good standing in his or her previous school

LPS and Douglas County Schools have a special agreement that provides some waivers of nondistrict resident requirements. For information, call 303-347-3300.

Application forms are available in all LPS school offices, by accessing the link below, or by calling 303-347-3300.
