Limited Choice (IDLC)

In-District Limited Choice 2024-2025

Families living within the Metropolitan School District of Washington Township boundaries may submit an application for their child(ren) to attend a school, other than their home-assigned school. Please check the MSDWT Attendance Boundaries Interactive Map link  to confirm your student’s assigned/home school. 

If you are an MSDWT resident, the search will display results for the home-assigned elementary and middle schools.

Nonresident versus In-District Limited Choice – Which application should I complete for my child?

PLEASE NOTE:

If you applied and were approved for In-District Limited Choice status for the 2023-24 school year or prior, you do not need to reapply until your student(s) is/are promoted from elementary to middle school.

For more information about the application process, please contact the following:

In-District Limited Choice (IDLC) Details

  • All families desiring IDLC  to any of the District elementary or middle schools must apply (first-time) or if applicable, reapply if a student is entering middle school from the elementary level;
  • IDLC online applications will be available for second-semester consideration on November 1 – 29.
  • Staff members applying for IDLC  for their children to attend the school of their employment will receive priority;
  • If IDLC applications exceed the school’s capacity, approved requests will be determined by a random selection;
  • IDLC applications randomly selected are not automatically approved. Approval is subject to District Policy, Guidelines, and procedures;
  • Applications will be accepted only through the online format provided below; and
  • Parents must submit a separate IDLC application for each student.

Reminder: Allisonville Elementary, Clearwater Elementary, and Willow Lake Elementary have no capacity.  Northview Middle School is at capacity and will no longer accept nonresident applications.

Families who recently moved out of the district would apply as nonresident families. New families wishing to enroll in WT can apply for second semester consideration for the 2024-25 school year when the nonresident and IDLC applications open from November 1 – November 29.

Due to enrollment trends throughout the district, school attendance zones are currently under review. This enrollment review process will conclude in December with any potential revisions for the Board of Directors’ consideration taking effect during the 2025-2026 school year.  Therefore, we will move the Nonresident and In-District Limited Choice Application windows for next school year to January 20 – March 14, 2025, to allow time for this comprehensive review to conclude.
