Open Enrolling A Student

There are two different types of open enrollment, regular and alternative. The regular open enrollment window begins in February and ends on the last weekday in April. Alternative open enrollment began in 2011 as part of Act 114 and outlines seven circumstances under which an alternative application may be submitted. Those scenarios can be viewed under the second bold heading of the "Applying for Open Enrollment Using the Alternative Application Procedure" brochure located here.

Regular Enrollment Procedure

  • Regular Open Enrollment Application (Feb 5 - Apr 30)

• After you’ve completed the online enrollment form, the School District of Eleva-Strum will mail you an acceptance/denial letter in early July. If the letter states that your enrollment has been accepted there will be some information on the letter mailed to you that will need to be filled out and returned to Kaela Stendahl in the District Office, by July 31st. Methods for submission include mail, drop-off, or email.

• After we receive your returned letter, and assuming your intent is to continue the enrollment process, someone from the District will reach out to you. This will likely be Elementary Secretary Angie Teigen for Elementary students and our MS/HS guidance counselor Taylor Klemme for MS/HS students. She will work through scheduling classes with you and your child.
