2026-27 Schools of Choice Application

• When will I know if my student is accepted?
  • Notification of acceptance, denial, or waitlisted will be sent via email within 10 days after the application period ends.
• I already have a student enrolled in Riverview.  Will my other students automatically be accepted?
  • No.  We can give preference to siblings of current Riverview students.  There must be availability in the grade for the sibling and there must be no suspensions or expulsions.
• I have a student attending the GSRP program.  Do I need to apply?
  • Yes.  For each K-12 student who does not live in Riverview, a schools of choice application must be on file. 
• I have a student attending the Young 5s program.  Do I need to apply?
  • No.  You would have completed an application before starting Young 5s, which is considered kindergarten.
• We used to live in Riverview.  Do I need to apply?
  • Yes.  If your student(s) would like to continue attending Riverview Schools, an application must be submitted during the application window.
• Do I need to apply again if I already have a student enrolled?
  • No.  Current Schools of Choice students do not need to reapply.  Once a student is enrolled, they are considered to be a Riverview student until graduation, or there is a break in enrollment.
• How are Schools of Choice students selected?
  • If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of open seats per grade level, a random lottery will be utilized to select the students.  Remaining applicants will be placed on a waitlist.  Schools of Choice selection is not first-come-first-serve.
• My student was put on the waitlist.  What does that mean?
  • If a spot becomes available before the end of the first week of the school year, you will be offered that spot.
• Will there be transportation for my student?
  • No.  Parents/guardians are expected to provide transportation.  It is also expected that students will be dropped off and picked up on time.

After you receive your acceptance email,

• Complete the online pre-enrollment form ASAP.

Pre-enrollment Form

• Once you receive the information to create your PowerSchool account or add your student to an existing account, please complete the enrollment forms.
