Notifications will be sent to families in late March 2023.  Families will receive the notification based on what preferences (email, text message or both) were selected when applying. Families can log into their SchoolMint account at anytime to see status of their student’s application(s).

If offered a placement into a school of choice, applicants will need to complete the process by accepting and then registering. Acceptance into a school of choice is considered a change in enrollment and requires additional verification. 

Applicants will be automatically dropped from the school of choice acceptance list, if they do not accept & register by the deadline.
