SANDY — Canyons School District is returning to its traditional window for the school open-enrollment process.
For the 2014-15 school year, applications from students to attend a school other than the one assigned to them by geographic boundaries will be taken from Dec. 1 through Feb. 21.
Last year, Canyons accepted open-enrollment applications from Aug. 1-Nov. 1. This was a one-time variance to the permit process so the district could ensure proper staffing levels when Canyons schools moved to a new grade structure.
The grade reconfiguration, approved by the Canyons Board of Education in 2010, moves ninth-graders into the high schools, and creates middle schools of sixth through eighth grades and elementary schools of kindergarten through fifth grades.
This grade structure will start Aug. 19, when the majority of Canyons students return to school. First-grade students return Aug. 20, and kindergarten starts Aug. 26.
Open-enrollment applications can be accessed at any Canyons District school or the Canyons Administration Building, 9150 S. 500 West. Applications should be submitted directly to the school where parents would like their child to be enrolled.
