Enroll

Submit enrollment packet back to student’s school and the school admin assistant will contact you with a start date. If you're enrolling for an upcoming school year, submission starts March 1. 

Thank you for your interest in enrolling your child in the St. Anthony-New Brighton School District. We accept non-resident students for open enrollment as space is available at each grade level.

Open Enrollment is defined by the process to apply for enrollment in a school district in which a student does not reside. It is designed to give all families the opportunity to select the best educational experience for their children. This enrollment option encourages parents/guardians to become knowledgeable about the needs and interests of their children and become more informed about what educational programs schools are offering.

Open enrollment applications are accepted October 15 - January 15 for the following school year.

1. Fill out an out of district open enrollment application. To be considered for the first-round 2023-24 school year open enrollment lottery, please submit your child's application no later than Jan. 15, 2023. Please be sure to note on your form that you are applying for the 2023-24 school year.

2. Upon receiving the application, you will be added to the pool and a random lottery will be performed by school building & grade.

Every 10 years, the U.S. Census Bureau works to count every person in the United States, including everyone living in Minnesota.

The census asks questions of people in homes and group living situations, including how many people live or stay in each home, and the sex, age and race of each person

The resulting count will guide the distribution of billions of dollars to Minnesota’s communities, determine political representation for the next decade, and provide data that shapes how Minnesota’s policymakers and business leaders decide to invest public and private resources.

One way the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) currently gathers information on students is through the Minnesota Automated Reporting Student System (MARSS) Web Edit System (WES). MARSS is their primary reporting system for collecting individual student data from districts.

The information collected is used to compile student counts and average daily membership (ADM), which helps the MDE calculate how much funding each district receives. The secure system also collects student demographics as well as some of the programs students participate in. Learn more.
