Selecciones

For your convenience, apply online at www.fwisd.org/choice. If you have more than one child, complete an online application for each child applying for a Program of Choice or School of Choice. A working email address is required to complete the online application. The email address should be a family email address that is checked regularly. It cannot be a student’s FWISD email address (stu.org) assigned to them by the district. Falsifying information on the Choices application will invalidate it, and the student’s application will be excluded from the selection process.

Admission is based on a computer-generated selection process. Students will be given the following weighted ranking order during the lottery process as determined through Board Policy:

GOLD SEAL PROGRAMS OF CHOICE

• Students living in the school’s attendance zone
• Siblings of resident students who are concurrently enrolled in the school’s Program of Choice
• Children of resident District employees
• Students living in the District but outside of the attendance zone
• Children of non-resident District employees
• Students living outside of the District

GOLD SEAL SCHOOLS OF CHOICE

• Siblings of resident students who are concurrently enrolled in the school
• Children of resident District employees
• Students living in the District
• Children of non-resident District employees
• Students living outside of the District

Students not selected to their first choice will be placed on a waiting list for their first choice unless the first choice is Arlington Heights Dance, YWLA or I.M. Terrell VPA. If applicants to these programs are not identified as eligible through the screening process, they will be placed on the waiting list for their second choice if not assigned to their second choice.

Transportation is provided to in-District students.

• Elementary Schools of Choice (SOC) and Programs of Choice (POC) bus stop locations will be at elementary school campuses.
• Middle school SOC and POC bus stop locations will be at middle school campuses.
• High school SOC and POC bus stop locations will be at middle school campuses.
• The Transportation Department will consider stop requests for locations greater than two miles from the designated home elementary/middle school campus. All additional stops will be based on the greatest concentration of students to be served in an area.

Bus routes are determined by students’ home address only. Transportation is not provided for before or after school activities or extracurricular activities
