New Open Enrollment
Mount Vernon City Schools is pleased to offer families the opportunity to apply for Open Enrollment.
Open Enrollment allows families to request school placement outside of their assigned attendance area or outside of the district, depending on residency. If you choose to pursue Open Enrollment, it is important to select the type that applies to your situation.
Open Enrollment - you must choose one of the following options:
- Open Enrollment - outside of Mount Vernon City School District
- Students who live outside the Mount Vernon City School District may apply to attend a Mount Vernon City School. Acceptance is based on district policy and available space.
- Open Enrollment - within Mount Vernon City School District
- Students who live within the Mount Vernon City School District may request to attend a different elementary school instead of their assigned home school. Approval is based on space availability.
