Open Enrollment – (Must be completed annually)

We recognize the desire of some parents/guardians to enroll their children in a school other than their neighborhood school, from either within or outside of the Lewiston School District. If you are interested in applying for admission to a school in our District, please follow these Open Enrollment application procedures. Section 33-1402, Idaho Code, requires annual application for open enrollment on a form provided by the State Department of Education and available at all schools or the District Office.
