What is School Choice?

DPS SchoolChoice Round 1 for the 2025-26 school year is now open through 4 p.m. on Feb. 18! This annual open enrollment process is for any student who wants or needs to attend a new school next year, particularly incoming ECE-3, kindergarten, sixth- and ninth-grade students.* 

To submit your application:

  1. Research your school options using School Finder and the Enrollment Guides.
  2. Create an account or use your Parent Portal username and password to log in to SchoolChoice.
  3. Rank up to 12 schools in order of preference and submit by Feb. 18. 

You’ll be notified of your results in late March. In the meantime, find much more information on the SchoolChoice website. If you have any questions, review our FAQs, call 720-423-3493 or email schoolchoice@dpsk12.org.
