SchoolChoice is for any student who wants or needs to attend a new school for the following school year. This particularly impacts transitioning students who are typically incoming kindergarten and students who are choosing to move into a new school. All incoming ECE students, as well as incoming students who reside in an enrollment zone, must complete an application.
Check out our FAQ for a larger overview of the SchoolChoice process. If you need additional help or have questions, start by contacting the SchooChoice hotline at 720-423-3493, emailing schoolchoice@dpsk12.org or contacting your child’s school.
Note: Incoming ECE students must participate in SchoolChoice on a yearly basis; due to space limitations, enrollment in a preschool program is not guaranteed. Learn more about the ECE application process here. In most cases, if your student is currently in kindergarten through 11th grade and will be staying at their current school for 2025-26, you do not have to fill out a SchoolChoice application.
