Open enrollment procedure
How available charter seats are assigned
The school’s published procedure gives first-day applications equal consideration. If applications exceed available seats, selection is random. Later applications are considered in receipt order for openings or the waitlist.
The handbook gives enrollment priority to currently enrolled students, their siblings, and children or grandchildren of Milestones employees. Contact the office for current instructions and deadlines.
Enrollment dates
The Family Handbook says open enrollment customarily starts on the second Monday in February. Confirm the upcoming cycle’s dates, placement notifications and response deadlines with the office. Select the intended school year in ParentVUE.

Answers before you apply
A little clarity for your family’s next step.

Which application link should I use?
Use New families if your family has never had a Milestones student. Current and former families use Returning families.
