Standard Registration Information
How do I find out what school my child is to attend based on our geographic location?
It is easy to find the school in your neighborhood using our "Find My School" locator tool, which features an interactive school attendance boundaries map.
Is it better to enroll in person or online?
This is a personal choice. Online enrollment may be completed at your convenience. For in-person enrollment, you need to contact your student’s school to schedule an enrollment appointment.
If your child is in middle school or high school, you will also need to contact the school to meet with a school counselor for course selection.

Nonresident and School Choice Registration Information
If I live outside of the school district, how can I apply?
If you live outside of the MSDWT attendance boundaries, you may still apply to attend as a nonresident family by completing a Nonresident application.
If I move outside of the school district during the school year but want to stay in WTS, can I do that? How?
If you move during the school year, your child may continue through the end of the current semester as long as your student is in good standing. You should complete a nonresident application as soon as you have a signed lease or purchase agreement for the second semester and the following school year.
If I missed the application deadline, can I still apply?
We have deadlines so we can try to accommodate applicants’ requests, but we realize there are circumstances where families may not be able to predict their situation for a recent move or other life change. If you missed the deadline, please email the appropriate grade-level contact and state the reason for your special request.

If my child is approved as a nonresident, do I have to reapply every year? Why?
