Families who live in the Central Park Enrollment Zone must complete a School Choice form for all children entering ECE, kindergarten, middle school, and high school. Once your child is in Kindergarten, you do not need to complete another choice form unless you choose to move them from their assigned school for the following year.
Families outside of the zone who wish to choice into a school other than their home school must also complete a Choice Form.
The DPS SchoolChoice Round 1 open enrollment window for the 2026-27 school year opens at 10 a.m. on December 2, 2025 and runs through January 20, 2026 at 4pm.

Our school hours are 8:10 a.m. to 3:10 p.m. unless your student is a morning bus rider. Morning bus riders will arrive to school by 7:40 and will have a 15-20 minute supervised reading time in the library.
Starting at 7:55 am, there is supervision on the playground or in the cafeteria for breakfast. At 8:05, students will walk directly to their classrooms. After the 8:10 final bell, your student is considered late.
ECE can begin dropping off at 8am and doors open for pick up at 3pm.
We offer 5 specials classes – Music, Art, PE, STEM, and Spanish. Students go to specials with their homeroom class for 1 hour per day (40 minutes for kindergarten). ECE4 has their own version of specials in their classrooms and do not participate in the K-5 specials. Students also visit the library every other week.
