Parents and guardians can access the application online through the Deming Public Schools website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.demingps.org\/district_info\/distict_news\/recent_news\/2026-2027_school_choice_application?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Deming Public Schools School Choice Application<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to district officials, students in kindergarten through fifth grade who wish to attend a school outside their assigned boundary school, return to their boundary school, or remain enrolled at a school after moving outside that school&#8217;s attendance area must submit a School Choice application. Students in grades 6 through 12 may also use the application to request enrollment in the district&#8217;s Virtual School program.<\/p>\n<p>District officials emphasize that families must first complete an Existing Student Online Registration (OLR) application before submitting a School Choice request. Any School Choice application submitted without an approved OLR application on file will be denied. Parents whose families have moved into a different attendance area or who wish to return a student to their assigned boundary school should select the &#8220;School Boundary&#8221; option when completing the application.<\/p>\n<p>Students who previously received School Choice approval generally do not need to reapply unless they are returning to their boundary school or requesting transfer to a different non-boundary school. However, under current board policy, students approved for School Choice beginning with the 2026-2027 school year will be returned to their assigned boundary school at the end of each school year and must submit a new application annually to continue attending a non-boundary school.<\/p>\n<p>Deming Public Schools encourages families to review all requirements and deadlines before submitting applications. Additional information and application details are available through the district website.<\/p>\n<p>By John Krehbiel \u2013 Bravo Mic Communications \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:john@bravomic.com\">john@bravomic.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEMING &#8211; Deming Public Schools has opened its School Choice application window for the 2026-2027 school year, giving families an<span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/demingnews.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/29\/deming-public-schools-opens-school-choice-application-window-for-2026-2027-school-year\/\">Read More &rarr;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":860,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-john-k","post-859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Deming Public Schools Opens School Choice Application Window for 2026-2027 School Year - DemingNews.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Deming Public Schools has opened School Choice applications for the 2026-2027 school year.
