The open enrollment period for Wisconsin public schools is February 5 - April 30, 2018. Wisconsin's inter-district public school open enrollment program allows parents to apply for their children to attend school districts other than the one in which they live during this 7-week period.
Who May Participate?
Students in 5-year-old Kindergarten to grade 12 may apply to participate in open enrollment. Open enrollment for pre-kindergarten, 4-year-old kindergarten and early childhood education is limited. Parents should call their resident school districts to find out if their preschool-aged children qualify for open enrollment.

NEW for the 2018-19 School Year: Part-time Open Enrollment
Beginning in the 2018-19 school year, the Wisconsin DPI is offering a part-time open enrollment program. Students enrolled in a public school in grades 9-12, may attend a public school in a nonresident school district for the purpose of taking a course offered by that nonresident district. A student may attend no more than 2 courses at any time in the nonresident district.
