SchoolChoice, School Tour & Parent Information

DPS SchoolChoice Round 2 Window 

DPS launched the one-application, one-deadline SchoolChoice process 10 years ago to ensure equity, consistency and simplicity in school enrollment. SchoolChoice is a key component of our vision that Every Child Succeeds! 

We believe all families should have equitable access to the schools they feel are the best fit for their students. Any student who wants or needs to attend a new school next year can take part in SchoolChoice.

Families rank their students’ top school preferences in the SchoolChoice application. We then match students to schools based on those preferences, as well as school admission priorities and available space. The system, designed to maximize the number of students getting their most-preferred school, is very effective; last year, 84% of participants received their first-choice school.

Round 2 SchoolChoice opens on Tuesday, April 12th at 10:00AM.

Isabella Bird Community School Student Information
Current ECE students have to submit an enrollment application during the open window to remain at Izzi B. Students in grades K-4 will automatically stay enrolled at Izzi B. All our 5th grade parents will need to choose their middle school options and complete applications as well.

SchoolChoice Dates
Mark your calendar, the SchoolChoice window is 10:00AM on April 12th. The form is ONLY available online (https://dps.schoolmint.net/signin) . Communication will be delivered no later than late-March. So do your research, have your schools in mind for your student, and be ready each January!

Here’s how it works:

  • FIND the best DPS school options for your student. Use the mobile-friendly School Finder, read the Enrollment Guide (mailed to transition-grade families in early December), and contact schools directly for more information.
  • APPLY beginning on Tuesday, April 12, 2022 by ranking your preferred schools (up to 12) using the online SchoolChoice application. Create an account or sign in using your Parent Portal username and password at dps.schoolmint.net/signin.
  • REGISTER with your school after you get notification of being accepted.
