    • Students currently attending ACPMS do NOT need to re-apply to remain at the same site for the next school year.
    • It is expected that the student on open enrollment remain at the requested school for the entire school year. Revoking your open enrollment to return to your boundary CUSD school mid-year, requires both principal and district approval.

    • Transportation (bussing) is NOT GUARANTEED for students on open enrollment living within the CUSD boundaries.
    • After-school care (Kids Express) is NOT provided at ACP Middle School.
    • Students are expected to be picked up at the end of the scheduled school day. 

    Open enrollment is based on a first-come, first-served basis, within your priority group.   

    Priority 1- Resident transfer students who currently attend the school and their siblings.

    Priority 2- Children of CUSD employees.

    Priority 3- Resident transfer students (you live within the CUSD boundaries.)

    Priority 4- Previously accepted & enrolled non-resident student’s siblings.

    • The open enrollment application is required by ALL families who wish to attend ACP Middle School as this school does not have assigned school boundaries.
    • You must apply and be accepted through open enrollment before you can register.
    • The online open enrollment application only allows for one email address to be added for communication purposes during the application process. Please ensure the parent/guardian email listed on the open enrollment application is entered correctly and checked regularly as most communication from ACP Middle School will be through email.
    • Sibling priority ONLY occurs when siblings are attending the same ACP campus, concurrently. Sibling priority at ACP Middle School is not granted to students who have or will have siblings at ACP High School.
    • Providing false information on the open enrollment form or submitting multiple open enrollment applications will result in the open enrollment being denied or admission being revoked (per CUSD policy). Please DO NOT submit two applications for the same student.
    • After your application is submitted, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to upload any required documents for your application. Please upload your documents after you have submitted your application.

    If you do not currently attend a CUSD school, your application must have: (Items 1-3 are required)

    1. This current school year's 1st semester grade report or transcript.
    2. This current school year's 1st semester attendance record.
    3. Discipline report from the school you are currently enrolled in: Teacher comments on report cards cannot be accepted in place of the required discipline report/letter.

If you do not have access to this, you must provide a letter from your school administration on the school's letterhead. The letter must be dated, include the students' name, and be signed by an employee of the school. False information on discipline reports will result in your student’s open enrollment application being denied.
