School Choice Deadline Coming Up

In Eugene School District 4J, families may choose their school, provided space is available. Students may enroll in their neighborhood school or request a different school. Lotteries determine the order in which requests are accepted.
Options include language immersion programs in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and French, as well as other alternative and neighborhood schools.
All students wishing to enroll in a school that is not their neighborhood school must submit a request, including:
- Younger siblings of current students,
- Students who have moved out of the school neighborhood and would like to continue at that school, and
- Students progressing to middle school or high school who are not in a language immersion program.
Enrollment in Eugene International High School at Churchill, Sheldon and South Eugene also requires a school choice application. (North Eugene HS is also an International Baccalaureate World School, but students at North Eugene do not need to enter the lottery to take International Baccalaureate classes.)
Don’t miss the deadline! 4J residents must apply by January 31 to be included in the annual school choice lottery. Families who live outside of the district can apply in March to transfer to a 4J school.
