Enrollment - Mahtomedi Public Schools

ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

The policy has changed for families who live in the district but move out. Please see Policy 509-Enrollment of Nonresident Students page 4, #4.

HOW TO ENROLL

DETERMINE THE STUDENT’S RESIDENT DISTRICT
The address where the biological/adoptive parent or other person having court appointed legal custody of the student lives (sleeps) is considered the student’s primary address, regardless of where the student physically lives. You are not a resident of the district if you own property/a home in the district but do not live/sleep there.

To determine your student’s resident district, visit pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us or contact Laura at laura.eliason@isd832.net.

If your student is a resident of Mahtomedi Public Schools, proceed to Enrollment as a Resident. If your student is not a resident of Mahtomedi Public Schools, proceed to Enrollment as a Nonresident (Open Enrollment).

At the end of the first open enrollment window, all the names of the students who have applied for open enrollment are placed in two categories--siblings of children already attending and children of employees is one category that has preference, and the other category is for all other applicants. The names are then entered into the website Random.org and that website will randomize the students. It also lists them in numbered order. This is witnessed by two district office employees and at the conclusion both sign the new list. In the event there are openings in subsequent windows and a lottery is required, the process gets repeated.

If you have further questions, contact the Open Enrollment Line at 651-407-2291 or laura.eliason@isd832.net.
