The 2027-2028 school choice application period will open on November 2, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. and close on January 13, 2027 at 11:59 p.m. All IRSD school choice applications must be submitted online at schoolchoicede.org. The online system offers both English and Spanish options for applications.
- Decisions on Grades K-12 will begin February 26, 2027. Parents must accept the invitation by the designated deadline within the invitation.
- Please note: Kindergartners must be pre-registered with their home school before school choice applications will be processed.
When visiting schoolchoicede.org, parents must create an account with a user name and password. It is recommended that the user name be an e-mail address. Once an account has been created, the parent can complete the application for selection of choice schools. There are up to 3 choices available. However, the parent is not required to request 3 schools. Simply request the school(s) of interest.
A separate application must be submitted for each child. Parents can also apply to the Spanish Immersion Program for Kindergarten. (Certain conditions apply for application of Spanish Immersion in subsequent grades).
Existing IRSD School Choice Students in the 5th or 8th Grade:
School Choice students currently in the 5th or 8th grade require completion of another school choice application to be considered for the next building level next year. Failure to complete the new school choice application will result in the student being placed in his/her home school for the 2027-2028 school year.
SDSA Students: 5th grade students do not need to apply to remain at SDSA for middle school. However, they must submit a School Choice application if they wish to attend another IRSD middle school outside their feeder pattern.
8th grade SDSA students must submit a School Choice application if they wish to attend a high school other than their designated feeder high school.
The school choice system will also designate district schools that are anticipated to have openings and those that are at capacity. Parents will still be permitted to submit applications for āAt Capacityā schools. However, these applications may be placed on a waitlist or denied due to capacity.
The parent/guardian will receive an e-mail confirmation once the school choice application has been submitted. The parent/guardian may review, edit or withdraw the application at any time prior to the January 13, 2027, deadline with the use of the established user name and password.
