Open Enrollment

Thinking about joining Edina Public Schools?

Families who live outside the Edina Public Schools district can apply through our Open Enrollment process. While space is limited, applying is the first step toward becoming part of the Hornet community.

Step 1: Complete an Open Enrollment Application (Statewide Deadline: Jan. 15)

Fill out Section 1 of the General Statewide Enrollment Options Application and submit it to our Enrollment Center by January 15 to meet the state deadline.

A separate application is required for each student.
The listed parent/guardian address must be a Minnesota address.

Applications submitted after the deadline are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Step 2: Confirm Your Application Status

Step Three: Accept Your Spot by Completing Enrollment

If your application is approved, families must complete the standard enrollment form for each approved student within the time window provided. The enrollment form requires:

Proof of required immunizations. This includes, but is not limited to, HepB, DTaP, Polio, MMR, and Varicella.
One document showing your child’s full legal name and birthdate. Certified birth certificate, passport/visa, or official U.S. court or government document.

Note: Families who do not complete enrollment within the provided window forfeit their spot at Edina Public Schools.

We are so grateful for the high-quality education and thoughtful role modeling from teachers, administrators, and other personnel that our child continues to receive in the Edina School District.

How are open enrollment applications approved?

Open Enrollment applications are approved based on available space. Priority is given in the following order:

Currently enrolled (K-12) students
Intra-district transfer requests
Staff
Siblings
Students who are residents of the City of Edina
Integration and Achievement program students
Open Enrollment applicants

Applications are reviewed individually by grade, not by family. This means that not all students in the same family may be approved.

The Open Enrollment process follows the Minnesota Department of Education Enrollment Options Program (Minnesota Statute § 124D.03) and our school board policy.
