2026-27 Schools of Choice Application

To be considered eligible for acceptance:

• An online application must be submitted during the application period
• Prior discipline history must be received from current and/or prior school(s).  Discipline history will only be accepted when received from the school and received after April 6th.  Both pages of the form, along with a printout of the discipline history, even if the discipline is blank, must be received to be considered eligible.

PRIOR DISCIPLINE HISTORY is required for consideration.  Discipline history received before the application period opens will not be accepted.

A parent/guardian must initiate a prior discipline history to be sent to Riverview Community Schools for consideration of acceptance.  Please print this form and give it to all schools attended within the last 2 school years.  This applies to students in grades 1st through 11th for in-person learning.

Prior Discipline History Form

• Turn it into your student's current school and/or any school they have attended in the past 2 school years
• Both pages of the completed and signed form, along with a copy of the behavior record (even if blank), must be sent from the student's current or past school to the email or fax number listed on the form directly from the school.

• 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,
