OE Application Process

Application Process

Overview

This year, families that live within our school district boundaries will create an account on SchoolMint to apply for Open Enrollment. 

Once your parent/guardian account is created on SchoolMint, add your student(s) to the account.

Families applying for student currently attending a SCUSD school will select “Yes” indicating that their student is currently enrolled and then enter their Student ID number*, student’s first and last name, date of birth. This information allows SchoolMint to pull in existing information that is on file in Infinite Campus, SCUSD’s Student Information System. 

Families with a new student or a student that currently attends a non-SCUSD school will select “No” indicating that their student is not currently enrolled and manually add their student’s information to SchoolMint. This information will be verified before the application enters the lottery. 

Once families register, they can apply for Open Enrollment between February 5 – 23 on the SchoolMint platform. All communications about open enrollment will be sent through SchoolMint either by email, text or both. 

SchoolMint accounts will also allow families to request to District Permits later this school year.

*Student ID numbers can be found on your student’s report card and also by logging onto your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. 

SCUSD Parent/Guardians must Submit an Annual Update form

If your student is currently enrolled in SCUSD, you must also submit the Mid-Year Annual Update through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal by February 23, 2024.

View directions on how to complete an Annual Update form through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal to verify your address and contact information. 

If you do not have an Infinite Campus Parent Portal account, request an activation key from your student’s current school office to create an account. Once you have an active Infinite Campus Parent Portal account, follow the steps to complete the Annual Update form.

New Students Must Complete Official Registration Form

When applicants are accepted into their program of choice, they will have to provide the following information to finish the registration process.
